Editor's Notes
- Hi, my name is Steve Carson. I’m External Relations Director for MIT OpenCourseWare and privileged to currently be serving as the first president of the OpenCourseWare Consortium.
- I’d like to share a little of the history of OCW—what it is, how it came about, what it means for the people who use it and the universities that produce it.
