You can download, view, print, share, or repurpose any content in Connexions for free, without even providing an email address.

The Featured Content portlet highlights exemplary content that shows what you can do with Connexions. New authors may want to use these materials for inspiration.
The Spotlight portlet provides a rotating set of vignettes highlighting user feedback, author profiles, and important Conneixons announcements. Hear what’s going on with the project and what others have to say about it.
From the My Account portlet you can log in, request an account, or recover a lost password.
