What are the long-term goals of the Notre Dame OCW initiative?
We expect Notre Dame OCW to grow to encompass the course materials of all faculty who are willing to participate. Over time, the goal is for most of the courses offered at Notre Dame OCW to be represented in the collection. Another goal of Notre Dame OCW is to catalyze the development of groups or communities around the course materials. Individuals participating in these informal groups will coach, mentor, and support each other in their learning, adding significant value to the materials themselves. Finally, we strongly desire to extend the reach and impact of the “opencourseware” concept.
