Although SpacedEd was originally developed at Harvard Medical School for medical student and physician education, our goal has always been to bring the technology to the widest possible audience. To that end, one of the first things we did when we created SpacedEd.com was to open up authoring to anyone on any subject.

It has been great to see the wide range of topics that have already been covered in courses from consumer gadgets like the iPhone and Motorola Droid, to a variety of math topics, and beyond.

Recently, a number of new and interesting topics have appeared on the site and over the coming months we will highlight just a few of them. We are starting with soccer.

Alex Kos is one of many coaches putting a lot of effort in to promoting and improving soccer participation in the United States and he has written a SpacedEd course called “Soccer 101“. You can read more about his thoughts behind using SpacedEd in his blog post “Enrich and Retain your Soccer Knowledge with Spaced Education“.

Its great to see the ever-expanding set of subject areas appearing on SpacedEd from authors like Alex. Our thanks to them all!
