How do we understand the spread of Open
Educational Resource projects?


Narrowing the focus:
focusing on institutional projects
using OCW as a case

So why did it spread to certain countries, and not
to others?


What kind of a “thing” is OCW?

Connecting with Your University’s Goals
—Recruitment

• A 2005 Poll showed that 50% of incoming MIT
students were aware of MIT OCW.
• 35% of those students based their choice of MIT at
least in part on their experience of MIT OCW
• By mid

—Recruitment

• Builds a prior academic relationship with
bright, motivated students, their families,
their teachers and their advisors
• Showcases key departments, faculty and
courses



—Reputation

An OCW site can showcase areas of excellence in
our university, such as name specific programs.
Heightened awareness of these programs not only
will attract talented students and faculty to our
school but also will increase the visibility of our
faculty within their disciplines.



—Retention

An OCW site provides students with the potential for
self-paced review of study materials before, during
and after taking a course. Such review greatly
increases a student’s chances of success in both
that course and subsequent courses which build
upon its teachings.



—Advising

The ability to view OCW materials prior to
enrollment allows students to make more informed
choices about which courses and majors are right
for them.

Likewise, advisors will be able to base their
recommendations on concrete information about
courses, their requirements and their benefits.

similarity? closeness of states, or similar attributes? no,

ﬁnancial support, requirement to make course available online for
ﬁve years

three kinds: undergraduate, vocational, and online courses


Purposes


Purposes

induce full professors to teach undergraduate courses

encourage professors to use more technology in their teaching

encourage formation of teaching teams, rethinking of course material
and teaching methods

courses function as “models” for other professors

(course material used directly by students?)

internally since 2003. Developed system of Not just about putting old courses online, but
indicators of course quality rethink content, teaching methodology, etc.

departments invited 20 external experts - used online

The OER project is a key part of the Quality
Project, but it’s not the only part:

The program targets 1000 universities with 10
million FT students, and will cost approximately
USD $365 million.

Targets:
Help 3000 professors and administrators to
develop peer training exchanges
Select 1000 national-level teaching teams
Give awards to 500 top national teachers
Develop
500 experimental teaching centers
500 individual talent development and creativity
areas
500 high quality bilingual classes

OK, so it’s quite different from the other OCW
courses. But it’s inspired by MIT right?
How did it all begin?


[...]
It was in September 2003 at the International OpenCourseWare Forum in
Beijing that a group of attendees including Prof Dick K.P. Yue, Ms Ann
Margulies, Dr Catherine Casserly, Dr Marshall Smith, representatives of 26 IET
member universities, presidents of 67 pilot universities for long-distance
education and administrators from 44 China Radio and TV Universities decided
that they could meet the opportunity and the challenge presented with a
powerful movement, which would promote closer interaction and open sharing
of educational resources between China and the world. This movement was
called China Open Resources for Education (CORE) and it was inspired, initiated
and supported by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the William
and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Chinese Ministry of Education (MOE) and all
the member universities in China and abroad.

http://olnet.org/node/190

CORE's objective is to introduce high-quality courseware from top-ranked
universities around the world employing innovative technologies,
methodologies and content for teaching and learning. Its mission focuses on
providing a framework for Chinese-speaking universities to participate in the
shared, global network of courseware with leading universities for all over the
world and to assist in making the use of open educational resources more
global and mainstream.

In 2008, the total number of Chinese Quality OpenCourseWare (CQOCW) made
available online exceed 1,800 at the national level, 5,000 at the provincial level
and 10,000 at the university level. The CQOCW includes course notes, syllabus,
assignments, lectures in audio or video format among others. The courses are
translated into Mandarin with the help of expert translators for use by Chinese
universitie

http://olnet.org/node/190

2004 would witness further adoption of the OCW concept, primarily in Japan,
France and China, with some early adopter institutions emerging in the United
States. [...]

In 2004 collaboration between the Chinese Ministry of Education and MIT's
translation partner CORE would lead to the launch of the China Quality
OpenCourseWare project, an effort to openly publish the best courses from
across the Chinese higher education system. By mid-2005, materials from more
than 500 Chinese courses were available through the CORE site. This collection
of courseware has now grown to over 1600 total courses, some of which are
now being translated into English by the CORE team.

Carson, S. (2009). The unwalled garden: growth of the OpenCourseWare Consortium, 2001-2008. Open Learning: The Journal of Open and Distance Learning, 24(1):


There are active OER initiatives at colleges and universities around the world:

Over 150 universities in China participate in the China Open Resources for
Education initiative, with over 450 courses online. http://www.core.org.cn/cn/

To conclude


To conclude

something that has a very different purpose, organizational model, than
MIT OCW

but happens at around the same time

the output looks quite similar

no official information in English

but a Chinese organization working with MIT, and the misunderstanding
that it’s the same thing
