Hi,
I’ve been putting together a website for Higher Computing Science. It’s created as a wiki so that it can be edited by anyone that’s interested.
http://highercomputingscience.org/
I have covered about one third or so of the course at the moment and plan to get the rest finished over the holidays. Each page is split into the following:
Key Points – learning points that are extracted into a key points list for each unit
Information – extended information and descriptions of the concept
Videos – related videos to help explain a concept
Further information – links to other websites and sources that help with further learning
Test yourself – self-assessment questions
Teaching resources – links to any helpful resources (this may be hidden from public view later on)
All content is linked from the Higher content grid.
There is a guide for contributors linked from the main page.
The password to register is “CompSci333”
The whole site is Creative Commons, including all images. I’d like to think that if there are volunteers to help create content and maintain it, then this would help contribute towards the agreed standard for each concept, because it would be those teaching it that are discussing and amending each page.
I think it would be a great thing in a subject like ours to see the wisdom of our particular crowd be used to shape a resource that could be used by anyone studying Higher Computing Science.
