A Vision of Students Today
This short but powerful video summarizes some of the most important characteristics of students today how they learn, what they need to learn, their goals, hopes, dreams, what their lives will be like, and what kinds of changes they will experience in their lifetime. The video was created by Dr. Michael Wesch and 200 students enrolled in Introduction to Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University during the Spring of 2007.

Information Revolution
This video explores the changes in the way we find, store, create, critique, and share information. This video was created as a conversation starter, and works especially well when brainstorming with people about the near future and the skills needed in order to harness, evaluate, and create information effectively. The video was created by Dr. Michael Wesch at Kansas State University, Fall 2007.

The Open Learning Initiative
Open Learning Initiative (OLI) provides open and free materials and activities to enhance instruction in a variety of subjects – in fact, entire courses are available on this site. Using intelligent tutoring systems, virtual laboratories, simulations, and frequent opportunities for assessment and feedback, OLI materials are intended to enact the kind of dynamic, flexible, and responsive instruction that fosters learning.
