How Do People Use OCW?

advancing formal and informal learning through the worldwide sharing and use of free, open, high-quality education materials organized as courses.

I want to see a listing of courses by subject, suggestions about which courses to take in which order, etc.

A meta directory of available courses

In what ways can OCW be improved?

The way in which the courses are indexed could be improved.

A nice page of all courses by subject.

Only the searching could be improved.

The problem is browsing becomes a chore and turns me away
