What is OpenCourseWare?
MIT started in 2001 with two main objectives:
Provide free, searchable, access to MIT's course materials for
educators, students, and self-learners around the world.
Create an efficient, standards-based model that other
institutions may emulate to openly share and publish their own
course materials."
What is OCW?
An OpenCourseWare is a free and open digital publication of high quality educational materials, organized as courses 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.
OCW part of the Open Movement
OCW is only one type of Open Educational Resource (OER).
OERs are only one type of Open Content.
We have much to share with each other.

"TU Delft is dedicated to finding sustainable solutions for
social problems. Theuniversity's core tasks
include delivering know-how and building
knowledge networks in an international context. OpenCourseWareis
one of the means by which
we are contributing to this mission"

Goals
How can we improve the discoverability and reuse, of OCW
courses?

Something that was easy to implement
That didnt require a lot of technical knowledge, or wading through metadata specifications
By using web technologies we wouldnt isolate the metadata/content
This wouldnt just be for OCW ConsortiumIt wouldnt be an education-only solutionBut it would also enable content syndication with the web-at-large
Discoverability of courses
using Dublin Core via RSS
Relatively simple to implement
Dublin Core as a metadata element set
DC has a base level of descriptive metadata, and it could describe an OCW course
DC was understandable to novices
IEEE LOM is fairly complex and would provide more description, but we felt the likelihood of getting lots of sites doing high quality metadata was low
