Rebecca Attwood at Times Higher Education has a new article on OpenCourseWare. Attwood interviews persons from MIT OCW, Oxford and OpenLearn. From the article:
This year, it [MIT OCW] will fund close to 50 per cent of the operating costs. Existing grants will run out in the next few years, and the programme is looking for ways to save costs, for example by moving its video footage from a paid-for host to YouTube. OCW receives commission from Amazon for referring visitors to its online bookshop, and is working hard to raise income from fundraising activities.
