Wiley on “OCW 2.0″

David Wiley has a new post regarding the future of OpenCourseWare. He makes a distinction between “OCW 1.0,” which is largely funded on grant money, and “OCW 2.0,” which is funded by granted academic credit. From the blog post:

Unfortunately, universities which refuse to offer distances courses cannot sustain their OCW projects with the OCW 2.0 model. It is unclear to me what – besides credit – they could possibly sell in conjunction with their OCW content in order to sustain themselves financially (particularly in lean times when each and every program on campus is being scrutinized).
