Abstract

New faculty and others have limited time to develop new courses and course lectures. Using a short course on human factors and nuclear power as a case study, the author identified tips for finding course-related online resources, which can accelerate the development of course materials. The 11 resources include (1 and 2) course syllabi in the education resources sections of society web sites or otherwise posted on the web, (3) lecture material linked to those syllabi, (4) lectures on the web found using the topic name and “.ppt” extension, (5) graphics found using the Google image tool, (6) books on Amazon.com sorted by relevance, (7) key articles found using Google Scholar, (8) key articles found using databases such as Web of Knowledge and Scopus, (9) reports on industry specific web sites (e.g., Electric Power Research Institute), (10) standards on the International Standards Organization web site listed under technical committee work programs, and (11) videos on YouTube.
