Search Engines - online open courseware

trilateral · 11-30-2006, 11:06 PM

Hi,

Check out this new search engine which indexes OCW courses. For the uninitiated, OCW stands for OpenCourseWare - This is an initiative from MIT which has been picked up by many universities across the world. The objective is to put as much of open courses online for the access of general public.

Search Engines like OpenContentOnline provide an interface to search for OCW courses.
Example Query
http://www.opencontentonline.com/sea...+communication

You can find a master list of OCW member universities at
http://www.ocwconsortium.org/about/members.shtml

Cheers
Trish

Technically it's spam, but interesting and non really a commercial venture. You can download the course material, from MIT, for free, although you would probably have to pay to get credit for the course.
