OpenCourseware Consortium Provides Free Online Courses from Hundreds of Universities

OpenCourseware ConsortiumMy last post was about MIT’s OpenCourseware Project, which contains more than 2,000 free online courses on a wide range of subjects, including architecture, urban studies, athletics, physics, and much much more.

Zooming out to get a broader view gives you a sense of just how big the universe of free courseware is. MIT is just one of hundreds of universities that make their online courses freely available as part of the OpenCourseware Consortium.

How big is the OpenCourseware Consortium? There are 220 universities participating… IN CHINA ALONE! In all, nearly 300 world-class universities have put courses online for all to access freely.

In browsing through English language courses, I came across a number of courses from the United Kingdom’s Open University that are likely of interest to those who read this blog:
