This is the web site of the "University of Dr. Chuck". I teach a number of free/online/open courses based on free and open materials and this site is the course catalog for my free courses. Some of these courses are available on mainstream educational technology platforms and other courses are provided using my own open source platform called Tsugi
The purpose of me building and deploying my own EdTech infrastructure is to explore some of the areas of teaching and learning that I feel are missing from the mainstream platforms and efforts. I think that these platforms will eventually address the issues near and dear to my heart but not quickly enough for me.
I also like to use my own platforms to show feasibility of my ideas in hopes that mainstream platforms like Canvas, Coursera and edX can learn from my experiments.
I use these materials to teach many of my on campus courses as a University of Michigan School of Informaiotn faculty member. These courss in my platform at not University of Michigan offerings and do not confer any University of Michigan credit.
