Open Access at UNIVERSITY â OpenCourseWare and Beyond
MITâs OpenCourseWare, along with numerous other University-lead open access learning initiatives, has revealed the worldâs thirst for open access knowledge and learning. What have we learned from previous efforts, and how and in what ways can Universities harness the potential of making their course material open access? How do we give knowledge, once put online, a sense of âlifeâ â how do we make it âlivingâ knowledge to be shared and developed with learners around the world? Facilitator: Anne Margulies (MIT OpenCourseWare)
