Vision

We envision a world in which the desire to learn is fully met by the opportunity to do so anywhere in

the world…. 

The Consortium acts to realize this vision by addressing one issue—that of access to high-

quality educational materials.

discarded water bottles.

technologies, water filtration, and more. The project was a success, and we could

not have done it without OCW.”

“Not everybody in Venezuela has the opportunity to go to college, so OCW is a great option. This has allowed a lot of

people to access this information who might otherwise have been unable to do

so.”

Jean-Ronel Noel

Solar energy entrepreneur, Cité Soleil, Haiti, learned the fundamentals of integrated circuits

from OCW.

Self learnerVision

“It was much better than any other information I found on the internet. I didn't want to just copy

the circuit without understanding it. MIT OpenCourseWare was different because it

explained things step by step. Using the open courseware saved us a lot of time and

money.”
