Diverse, a magazine related to issues in higher education, has published an article on OCW. The first part of the article is largely introductory; mostly relating the history of MIT OCW. However, the last part of the article quotes Gary Matkin as he explains how UC Irvine OCW efforts differs from MIT. From the article:
“MIT’s courses can range from a syllabus with a few resources to a 450-page html-page course with self-tests. At UC Irvine we have a set standard for all OCW that requires it to have a complete set of learning materials, be organized in a coherent way, and a narrative thread throughout.”
