Open CourseWare, or OCW, is a term
applied to course materials created by
universities and shared freely with the world via
the internet. The OCW movement began at MIT with
the launch of MIT OpenCourseWare in October 2002.
Since then, a number of universities have created
OCW projects.
According to the website of
the OCW Consortium, an OCW project:
-
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.
