What is OpenCourseWare? An Opencourseware (OCW) is a free and open educational resource for faculty, students, and self-learners throughout the world. • OCW is not a distance-learning initiative: there are no degrees granted, no student/faculty interactions and no transcripts. • OCW is a collection of high-quality learning materials presented in the form of courses. • OCW materials are there for the taking and for transformation.
