What is OCW? An opencourseware (ocw) is a free and open educational resource for faculty, students, and self- learners throughout the world. • An ocw is a collection of high-quality learning materials presented in the form of courses • An ocw is not a distance-learning initiative: there are no degrees granted and in most cases no student/faculty interactions • OCW materials are there for the taking and for transformation. | 3

advancing formal and informal learning through the worldwide sharing and use of free, open, high- quality education materials organized as courses. • ~100 live OCW sites • ~8600 courses http: ocwconsortium.org | 4

The OCW Consortium—Growth More and more national initiatives and different models |
