Many faculty members of Penn State's College of Earth and Mineral Sciences have created digital educational resources for their students. In the interest of sharing these excellent resources, the Open Educational Resources site presents digital video, texts, simulations, animations and illustrations crafted by these learned individuals. First-time users can get started by looking over the Featured Content area, which brings together everything from a hands-on, Flash-based application that helps students learn about energy consumption to a lesson on seismic hazards. Additionally, visitors can also sign up to receive updates about new additions to the site and also learn more about contributing their own work.
