Abstract

The OpenCourseWare (OCW) movement is taking off, offering benefits to faculty, institutions, and learners around the globe. More than 100 institutions are participating worldwide, millions of people visit OCW sites around the globe each month, and interest continues to grow. Starting an OCW, however, is a not a trivial undertaking. This seminar will offer a much-needed "boot camp" on how to start an OCW on your campus. We will prepare you to advance your project over the hurdles of motivation and through the hoops of IP clearance. We also will demonstrate the effective use of the many production, presentation, and evaluation tools currently available.

If I could only attend one conference next year, this would be the one I would choose!
