Developing and maintaining a website for teaching and learning about intelligence

This article describes the development of the website Human Intelligence: Historical Influences, Current Controversies, Teaching Resources (http://www.intelltheory.com/). Organized historically, the site is a “living text” that can be used flexibly as a pedagogical resource in stand-alone courses focusing on intelligence, or as a supplemental resource in undergraduate and graduate-level psychology, education, and philosophy courses covering intelligence. Site resources include: an interactive map demonstrating the chains of influence among theorists and researchers, biographical profiles of prominent individuals who have contributed to the development of intelligence theory and testing, in-depth articles exploring important controversies related to intelligence, and sample course syllabi. Site usage data suggest that intelligence is being taught in U.S. high schools and universities in several countries around the world.
