OpenCourseWare spreading worldwide
OpenCourseWare (OCW) now offers the curriculum and faculty course materials from 701 MIT courses on the web–about one-third of the way toward its goal of 2,000 courses by 2008. Among those using OCW are an educational technology instructor in Bangalore, India, a home-schooling parent in rural Kentucky, a university professor in Lagos, Nigeria, and a student at the University of Mississippi. The information was compiled in a recently released survey of thousands of OCW users (see accompanying article).
