Enlivening Online Courses

In recreating my online courses, I'm looking for more interactive, more graphically and media rich sources for exploration.  Two that are taking up too, too much time are YouTube EDU and LearningOutLoud.  As I'm looking into future studies for the next cycle of ENGL 1, it was really great to find the Great Valley Center video "Why the Central Valley Matters."   This is just one of some really great lectures--the kind you wish we'd get at COS, alas!  But collected here, it's an arguably even better resource.

Learning Out Loud is a collection of podcasts slanted toward more academic subjects, but infused with enough pop culture to be entertaining.  Again, easily searchable and a strong resource for finding rich media to add to curriculum.
