Kanchanaraksa, Gooding, Klaas, & Yager explain the creation of OCW at John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in the most recent issue of Open Learning. The authors reflect on lessons learned, such as the importance of choosing the right platform and acknowledging that not all faculty will participate.
This is an ideal time for institutions to begin developing OER projects of their own. Pioneering OCW institutions are eager to share their collective experience and know-how with others, and the OCW Consortium provides a one-stop source for information on the OCW publishing process (OpenCourseWare Consortium, 2008a,b). Members and OCW Consortium officers are more than helpful and willing to share experiences, answer questions, and provide feedback.
