The Independent Learning Centre (ILC) has made all of their ILC courses, for all subjects, open and available. Teachers and students can freely access this material. When using this material, teachers still need to create their own questions, and have students submit responses to the teacher.
The ILC has SBI3C, SBI3U, SBI4U, SCH3U, SCH4C, SCH4U, SES4U, SNC1D, SNC1P, SNC2D, SNC2P, SNC4E, SNC4M, SPH3U, SPH4C, SPH4U, SVN3E & SVN3M available. While this does not cover all of our classes, there might be some content that you can use. As well, you may find some useful ideas for content in your particular class.
The ILC courses can be accessed by clicking here.
NOVA Labs is a free digital platform that engages teens and lifelong learners in games and interactives that foster authentic scientific exploration. From predicting solar storms and constructing renewable energy systems to tracking cloud movement and designing RNA molecules, NOVA Labs participants can conduct investigations by visualizing, analyzing, and sharing the same data that scientists use.
