Status Update

  1. Phillip Schmidt shares his impression and the main accomplishments of the Open Courseware Consortium (OCWC) meeting in Dalian (China) held between April 23-27, 2008:

- "…while courseware publication was the starting point, and remains the unifying focus for the consortium, many of its members have moved far beyond just making content available. Some sites are offering support for self-learners, other projects are forming thematic communities, yet others are considering how open content creates new opportunities for informal (or non-institutional) learning communities. The ideas coming from this group of institutions are at least as innovative and radical as those in other open education communities…."
