OpenCourseWares are open access collections of educational materials. There are now over 50 universities worldwide offering OpenCourseWare. There are OpenCourseWare projects at MIT, Utah State University, Notre Dame, Johns Hopkins University, and schools in Asia and Europe. There is growing momentum among higher education institutions to participate in this "open" movement. Published by the Center for Open and Sustainable Learning. http://cosl.usu.edu

MIT has recently completed a six-year project to put course materials from all MIT classes online. This short program explains the initiative and features MIT officers and New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman talking about the importance of OCW.

Ive been bemoaning the growing polarization (rich vs. poor) in our society (poor education system, flat tax structure, Bread & Circuses/NASCAR races) and MIT OCW might point the way to amelioration, in that serious, but under-funded students, could get a good education through this and similar options...

Think about the return on this investment You use resources like the six-semester course in Chinese language and culture taught by Professors Wheatley and Tong, Professor Lewin's memorable video physics courses, and Professor Strang's unparalleled calculus course complete with online text book. You know what these materials mean to you. Some of your fellow OCW users—both teachers and learners—transform these resources into great programs that serve humankind, whether through educational innovations or other projects that make our planet a better place.

When Viruly first began teaching the module several years ago, he chose as his textbook Commercial Real Estate Analysis & Investments, a graduate-level real estate text written by MIT Professor David Geltner. As Viruly began to design the module as a complement to the text, he came across MITs OpenCourseWare, and was excited to discover that the author himself had already structured a course, Course 11.431J Real Estate Finance and Investment, to fit the text. Viruly readily adapted a similar structure to fit his module. "OCW is just a great system," declares Viruly.
