- Willem van Valkenburg is the director of TU Delft OpenCourseWare and manages the university's learning management system. He discusses the goals and usage of OpenCourseWare. - OpenCourseWare makes high-quality educational course materials freely available online to educators and learners worldwide. While not a distance learning program, it allows open access to and sharing of course content. - Analysis of MIT OpenCourseWare usage shows that educators use it to improve knowledge and teaching methods while students use it to supplement courses or plan studies. Self-learners explore new topics or review professional fields.

7. Goals

8. Use of standards

10. “ Create an efficient, standards-based model that other institutions may emulate to openly share and publish their own course materials."

12. An ocw is not a distance-learning initiative: there are no degrees granted and in most cases no student/faculty interactions

13. OCW materials are there for the taking and for transformation.

15. OERs are only one type of Open Content.
