What are the long-term goals of the UNU OCW initiative?
We expect UNU OCW to grow to encompass the course materials of all Research and Training Centres and Programmes who are willing to participate. Over time, the goal is for most of the courses offered at UNU to be represented in the collection. Another goal of UNU 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.
