Do the people who run this site actually bother to check the comments? If I’d posted this and had such a bad response I’d want to address it pretty quick and sort out the naff content.

Thanks to judith and Matt Schreiner for providing the correct link for #6. That looks potentially useful.

Oh! I’ve been struggling with the first link and iTunes to download the course and everybody agrees there’s no content available! This post is a great idea, DPS, but thanks for making me waste 10 minutes of my Friday night.

Cheers.

The URL for the Reading Visual Images is wrong… the correct URL for course 6 is as follows:
http://openlearn.open.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=1297

Thanks so much to Ohmz! And balls to DPS for featuring something that could have been so valuable, but was tantamount to useless in 70% of the links.

Seriously, though. I’ve been following DPS for a couple years now… Lately (i.e. since the layout change), the information in the comments seems more useful than the information generally presented in most of the articles.

Don’t mean to cause any offense… but it had to be said.

Rather than just listing a bunch of sites why not check the content before posting it.

#1 which I would have regarded as the most useful to a novice photographer like myself has no downloadable content.

#2 also has no content but does have a reading list.

#3 has useful info

#4 has lecture notes

#5 looks good

#6 the link for this leads to #5…

#7 isn’t even a course it’s a club.

This could have been an amazing article but it’s really poorly reserached the fact that you cite them as being “excellent open courseware collections” but appear not to have checked them for actually containing content really reduces the credibility of this article. I could doa google search for 7 online photography courses and come up with a better list than this…
