This is a basic introduction to the CNXML language. It includes a description on how to begin a CNXML module and also examples of the basic tags needed to start writing in CNXML.
This module explains the details of the Connexions Authoring system.
Answers to frequently asked questions for the Connexions project.
The Connexions Project uses a collaborative, community-driven approach to content creation, organization, and dissemination. We provide a set of open source tools and an open repository for the publication and exchange of knowledge modules. These XML-bas

Connexions is an experimental course publishing philosophy and methodology that directly exploits modern information technology. Our environment rests on four fundamental concepts; they are not unique in isolation but together represent a fresh approach to writing and using books in courses and curricula. The key notions are: modules of information; user interfaces for easy navigation through information; annotation tools for customization of material; open-content license.
Instructions for quickly creating a Connexions module that contains your content.
This week I ventured to explore a number of OER projects and conduct a preliminary assessment of the reusability and remixability of the OER hosted in each. Based on earlier (albeit shallow) familiarity with some of these OER initiatives I am able to presume that the structure and technology of a selected sample OER from each is generally representative of all or most OER in the given project.
I undertook this task as Rogue Quest 1 for David Wiley’s Intro to Open Ed course. The Rogue character class that I’ve adopted focuses on content production with an emphasis on finding and releasing or untrapping "open" content to allow for reuse and remix. I have only theoretical experience with remixing OER, and so it is fitting that I begin at experience level 1.
Reuse/Remix Estimates
As I purview each of seven different OER projects I will give each collection a reuse/remix value rating based on my initial impressions and observations. These estimates may change as I move forward to release, reuse, or remix some of these OER.
My reuse/remix rating is a scale of 1 - 5, where "1" is extremely difficult or low value, and "5" is extremely easy or high value, referring to the act of taking CC content and reusing or remixing it on a separate server.
Introduction to Joel Thierstein's post which provides the opportunity to open a conversation on the critical role of faculty in the ecosystem that supports the creation, distribution, use, and reuse of OER.
An overview of the New Author Guide and its purpose. The purpose of this user guide is to instruct new Connexions authors on creating, revising, and publishing content with the Connexions system.
Joel Thierstein's contribution to the OSS and OER in Education Series. In this post, he provides the opportunity to open a conversation on the critical role of faculty in the ecosystem that supports the creation, distribution, use, and reuse of OER.
A brief guide to authoring in Connexions. This module provides links to existing Connexions documentation modules and highlights resources for new authors participating in the Open Education Cup contest (http://OpenEducationCup.org).
Another open trend that is growing quickly is the adoption of open source textbooks. But, the more broadly named movement has come to be known as open educational resources (OER). OER focus not only on textbooks, but also on full courses, course materials, modules, journals, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques that are critical in the learning environment.
