OpenCourseWare

OpenCourseWare (OCW), initiated in 2002 by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), publishes free, extensive materials about 1,800 courses, including syllabi, lecture notes and often complete lectures, assessments, readings, and so on. Since 2002, more than 100 other universities from all over the world have published their own materials and formed the OCW Consortium. Hundreds of open full courses &mdash; including lecture courses from Yale, Berkeley, and MIT; suites of multimedia courses, and cognitive tutor courses from Carnegie Mellon &mdash; populate the Web and serve secondary schools as well as universities.
