Start an OpenCourseWare Project
OpenCourseWares (OCWs) are open access collections of educational materials used in formal courses. There is growing momentum among higher education institutions to participate in this “open” movement. Through opencourseware projects, universities can share and contribute their knowledge and expertise in an open and easily accessible manner.
