DESCRIPTION: What began as a faculty-led response at MIT to the emerging eLearning industry in 2002, has grown into a world-wide movement with hundreds of universities sharing course curricula on open websites and an approach to sharing course curricula which is being encouraged by the White House. At this meeting you will learn how the opencourseware movement got started, how it has evolved since, why it has world-wide appeal, and why the current administration is supporting this movement. You will also discover best practices for third party content, licensing considerations, how to publish courses with rich media, why faculty are contributing as well as the challenges and benefits of publishing open course curricula from experienced experts. The meeting will close with an opportunity to join one of several moderated round tables discussions focusing on key topic raised during the presentations.
