There are 16152 reusable modules on the Connexions site. It is a repository of courses, materials, textbooks and other valuable educational resources. People from all over the world have contributed to this repository. You can browse the modules here.

All those interested in finding the right platform for their particular OCW projects are welcome. Joel will introduce Rhaptos, an open source software that lets you install Connexions as a platform for your open content website. Joel will explain when and why Connexions would be an excellent choice for projects with certain goals and priorities. You can read more about the Rhapos program here.
