Resources for Developing MSP430 Based Courses
Connexions: Open Source, Open Content Learning Database
Connexions is a collaborative, community-driven approach to authoring, teaching, and learning that seeks to provide a cohesive body of high-quality educational content to anyone in the world, for free. The project was developed by Patrick Frantz, executive director and senior research engineer for the Center for Multimedia Communication at Rice University. "The upshot is," says Frantz, "that anyone at any university can take my material and use it as is or expand on it to easily start their own lab course using the MSP430."
