SNOW
SNOW (1)
● 'SNOW'(Sookmyung Network for Open World) (www.snow.or.kr) is a community-type OER platform that delivers remarkable courseware around the world to Korean-speaking audience.
● Users can upload OER(open courseware) contents to share, discuss with comments, and participate in translating those contents into Korean.
● SNOW was established to overcome 1. language barrier to knowledge, 2. hardship for scattered academic contents, and 3. difficulty to hand on how to find knowledge on web.
● The website now carries approximately 8,500 videos with Korean scripts.
SNOW (2)
● Especially, SNOW organizes events such as SNOW Knowledge Forum and tape them to create autonomous contents.
● Sookmyung Women’s University is supporting the service.
● Since the contents were selected and brought from various OCW sources, it is important to respect their own CCL conditions. In order to educate the users, SNOW provides a CCL users’ guide.
