Context —What is OCW?

• An Opencourseware (OCW) is a free and open educational resource for faculty, students, and self-learners throughout the world.

• OCW is not a distance-learning initiative: there are no degrees granted, no student/faculty interactions and no transcripts.

• OCW is a collection of high-quality learning materials presented in the form of courses.

• OCW materials are there for the taking (and for transformation).

Context —What is OCW?

• OCW is not a distance-learning initiative: there are no degrees granted, no student/faculty interactions and no transcripts.– But OCW can complement a distance-learning initiative, taking content from and directing learners toward an existing e-learning curriculum.

– OCW has much to learn from e-learning methodology

– The Meta-University discussion centers around the potential for credit-bearing OCW courses in the future.
