What is OCW?

An opencourseware (ocw) is a free and open educational resource 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.

• ~100 live OCW sites

• ~8600 courses
