Universities working together to advance education andempower people worldwide through opencourseware.
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 or “Pathways to Credit”discussion
centers around the potential for credit-bearing OCW courses in the future.

Context —What is OCW?
• OCW materials are there for the taking (and for transformation).
– Reuse: use the work verbatim, just exactly as you found it– Rework: alter or transform the work so that it better meets
your needs– Remix: combine the (verbatim or altered) work with other
works to better meet your needs– Redistribute: share the verbatim work, the reworked work,
or the remixed work with others
FREE ≠ OPEN ≠ LIBRE
