MIT’s open courseware initiative (OCW), which put all of its course notes and resources online for free, has expanded to the Open Courseware Consortium, asking participating higher education institutions to freely share material.
An OpenCourseWare site…
- is a free and open digital publication of high quality educational materials, organized as courses.
- is available for use and adaptation under an open license.
- does not typically provide certification or access to instructors.
Only one Canadian institution participates in this +100 member consortium; Capilano College in BC.
