What is MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW)?MIT OpenCourseWare is a free publication of MIT course

materials that reflects almost all the undergraduate and graduate subjects taught at MIT.

IMPORTANTLYOCW is NOT an MIT education.OCW DOES NOT grant degrees or certificates.OCW DOES NOT provide access to MIT faculty.Materials MAY NOT reflect entire content of the course.

80% rate OCW's impact as extremely positive or positive.

91% expect that level of future impact.

96% of educators say the site has/will help improve courses.

96% of visitors would recommend the site.

MIT OCW Development

• An average of 100 hours effort to produce one course.

• MIT faculty devote 5-10 hours for each course.

• 12 publication staff work directly with the faculty.

• 2 intellectual property staff.

• 4 production staff support the publication team.

• 5 outreach and administrative staff manage communications, media relations, outreach, program evaluation, and OCW's sustainability.

MIT OCW Cost• The total annual cost is about $3.5 million.

• Cost per Non-video-based course: $10,000–$15,000 • Cost per Video-based course: $30,000 • For each course MIT OCW publish, they must:

• Compile course materials from faculty;• Ensure proper licensing for open sharing; • Format materials for global distribution;• Sustain technical infrastructure (software/hardware

network); and • Provide and support local mirror sites in bandwidth

constrained regions.

Revenue Cost

http://ocw.mit.edu/donate/why-donate/

• Projected that OCW reserves will run out in FY2014 without significant changes in their current funding model. • Challenge is to offset the loss of grant funds with substantial

increases in revenues such as: • Donations• Endowments• Corporate sponsorships, and;• Alternative sources of revenue.

OER Development Life CycleThe OER LIFE CYCLE begins with a desire or need to learn or teach something. The following sequence of steps illustrates a typical development process:

No Steps Description

1. Find Search and find OERs using variety of OER search engines and look for existing resource lists made available online by experts.

2. Create With a collection of resources at your disposal, start fusing them together to form a learning resource. When creating OERs take into account usability, durability, accessibility and effectiveness, especially regarding format (output).

3. Localize Making a resource more useful to a particular situation (contextualizing). This may involve minor corrections and improvements, remixing components, localization and even complete rework for use in diverse contexts.

4. Remix Remixing is the act of taking two (or more) OER materials and merging them to form a new OER.

5. License Select the appropriate Creative Commons license for your OER project.

6. Use This covers the actual use of OER for your context.

7. Share Once an OER is finished, make it available for the open education community to re-use and begin the life cycle again.

Before finding and remixing OERs, set the course/module/topic aims and objectives (and course outline if possible). It might change as you develop, but it is good to have a starting destination (or map).

OER Evaluation Tool? To help you determine the aspects of quality of OERs, Achieve has developed eight rubrics in collaboration with leaders from the OER community:

1. Degree of Alignment to Standards

2. Quality of Explanation of the Subject Matter

3. Utility of Materials Designed to Support Teaching

4. Quality of Assessment

5. Quality of Technological Interactivity

6. Quality of Instructional Tasks and Practice Exercises

7. Opportunities for Deeper Learning

8. Assurance of Accessibilityhttp://www.achieve.org/oer-rubrics
