Editor's Notes
- The important distinction is that OCW is a package of materials – not a single lecture or document – organized as a course, designed to help learners explore and understand the theme presented.
- Elements of the package that help users understand the learning design and progress of the course
- The materials are published under the name of the author and the institution. The reputation of the institution and the professor lend credibility to the materials.
- Institutions are the stewards of the collection Doesn’t mean that anything can go up OCW can be used to advance particular objectives of an institution
- The idea for OpenCourseWare came out of the Massachusetts institute for Technology (MIT), where a faculty committee that was charged in the year 2002 by then-president Charles Vest with answering two questions: How is the internet going to change education? and What is MIT going to do about it? If you think back, this was at the height of the dot com bubble, when many universities were busy launching for-profit distance learning ventures, and MIT was actually very late in asking these kinds of questions. When the committee was first charged, it was widely expected within the MIT community that they would propose a for-profit distance education model, an MIT.com.
- But the committee found that there was not a workable business model for a distance-learning version of the kind of focused, hands-on education MIT has to offer. But there was an option in keeping with MIT's mission: use the internet to give away MIT materials, so that instructors and students at other universities could use them to improve their own teaching and learning.

- Over 250 institutions from around the world
- Institutional Members commit to publishing, under the institution's name, materials from at least 10 courses in a format that meets the agreed-upon definition of an opencourseware. Affiliate Members either publish courses in an area other than higher ed. (e.g. corporate training or K-12) or engage in activities that further Consortium goals (e.g. software development, translation, distribution or regional support). Associate Consortia support the development of OpenCourseWare in particular regions or around common interests. A member of an associate consortium may participate in the OCWC as either a full or an Associate Institutional Member . Corporate Members provide services for fees to other members of the Consortium and contribute substantially to support of the Consortium through their membership fees.
- Membership helps with sustainability in three ways
