Boundless Content
By Boundless
Boundless content uses existing open resources as a starting point and is vetted and curated by our network of subject-matter experts.
Boundless content is shared on our website under the Creative Commons "share-alike" license.
Boundless engages the larger community by encouraging everyone to suggest improvements to our content and by allowing educators to publish their own content on our site.
Boundless subjects each have an associated digital textbook with a default order, but can also be customized to align with a different textbook or course syllabus.
Boundless courseware is comprised of individual modules, each with a three-part structure: a learning objective, supporting digital content, and a set of assessment items.
Each Boundless concept supports and is framed by its learning objective: the concrete expectation a student should be able to fulfill after reading.
Each Boundless concept (the supporting element of the three-part content module) consists of the full text as well as a one-line "brief," key points, and key terms.
Each Boundless concept has associated assessment items that test the concept's learning objective.
