Connexions is a revolutionary approach to education that seeks to provide a place where everyone in the world can share knowledge for free.

Based on concepts pioneered in “open-source” computing, Connexions provides equal access to all, via tools that let everyone—from university professors to school children—post and update knowledge in one place, the Content Commons.

The project provides free, Web-based tools that make it easy for anyone to access materials in the Content Commons, modify them to meet their specific needs, collaborate with others, and to explore the links between concepts, courses, and disciplines.

Based at Rice University in Houston, Connexions transcends traditional learning by making information more accessible, interactive, relevant, and fun.
