Reviewer Comments:

The Open High School of Utah is a public charter online school designed to meet the needs of the 21st century student. Individualized instruction allows students to work at their pace. This online course, Biology, is a first-year course broken into parts A and B. This first half of the course (A) covers topics ranging from the chemistry of life, organic chemistry, cell structure and function, homeostasis and other cell processes, mitosis and meiosis, and genetics. The units are made up of a nice variety of screencasts, video lectures, images, text, self-checks and interactive activities. The initial screencast is especially helpful in providing an overview and setting the tone for the course. Much of the content is freely available and sharable under a Creative Commons license, however there are some materials such as the study guides (on Google Docs) that appear to require permission to access. Despite not including formal, teacher-crafted feedback for students, this is quite a remarkable resource for independent learners. Be sure to check out the second half of the course (B) at http://ocw.openhighschool.org/course/view.php?id=39
