Foreword Welcome to the International Conference on Opencourseware 2006 in Kyoto, Japan.

Early spring

is one of the best seasons of Kyoto and many tourists enjoy experiencing traditional culture of Japan. We have two purposes of this conference. One purpose is to exchange information among universities providing OCW. OCW project.

The other purpose is to encourage other universities to start up their

Owing to the effort made by MIT OCW team, the number of universities that

provide OCW is gradually increasing.

At this time, it is honorable to have this conference at Kyoto

University, Japan.

The purpose of OCW, to my understanding, is to create human knowledge repository available to all the people in the world without any cost.

Since all the people have right to get educated, OCW

contributes for the people all over the world.

Kyoto University joined this activity with other five

universities in Japan, and formed Japan Opencourseware Consortium (JOCW).

Since then, we

made effort to make up the system that covers all the work flow of the OCW activities, including the intellectual property right, the way to make up the OCW from the materials obtained from professors and the software system to open the digitized courseware.

As a result, we have published 40

courses now.

For the first day, we plan to have the audience from universities, in which we discuss our experience to OCW project.

We have an invited talk form MIT, and two panel discussions, one is from Japan

and the other is from the other countries. From these discussions, you may find out what the OCW situation now, and which direction we proceed. Please enjoy yourself in this new world created by OCW, a new media for knowledge.

I would like to thank all the members of organizing committee, particularly Executive Director Anne H. Margulies, Dr. Steve Carson, and Prof. Shigeru Miyagawa from MIT for their continuous contribution to prepare the conference, and I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Prof. Yoshimi Fukuhara, Secretary general of JOCW, Keio University, Prof. Haruo Takemura, Osaka university, and Prof. Naoko Tosa, Kyoto university for their efforts to make the conference happen.

Abstract

MIT OpenCourseWare (MIT OCW), available online at http://ocw.mit.edu, makes the MIT Faculty's course materials used in the teaching of almost all of MIT's undergraduate and graduate subjects available on the Web, free of charge, to any user anywhere in the world. MIT OCW is a large-scale, Web-based publication of educational materials. Educators in the U.S. and the developing world utilize the materials for curriculum development, while students and self-learners around the globe draw upon the materials for self-study or supplementary use. With 1350 courses now available, MIT OCW is delivering on the promise of open sharing of knowledge.

Sharing concise data and case studies from real users of MIT OCW materials from around the globe, Anne Margulies will demonstrate how MIT OCW, and the "OpenCourseWare" concept, is gaining momentum around the world. She will explain the origins of the OCW project from an MIT faculty committee, how a simple but powerful idea has benefited people all over the globe, and how the burgeoning OpenCourseWare Movement and the OpenCourseWare Consortium promise to transform global education.

Challenges of JOCW

Haruo Takemura Osaka University

JOCW Implementation

of OCW using each universities’

own budgets. Glass roots movement / Top down decision. Not Necessarily aiming for publishing all courses of participating universities.

Problems to be solved Increasing

presence of OCW internally and

externally Searching for Financial Support Some technical challenges Copyright Issues based on the difference of legislation Increasing Incentive for faculty to provide course materials

Searching for Financial Support Difficult

to search for external funding source

Hewlett Foundation nor Melon Foundation Personal Donation to University is not so common. Higher

priorities are give to e-Learning systems and/or SIS.

Technical Challenges Integration

with on-campus e-learning system and other student information system Access analysis Supporting courses in Japanese and in English

Creative Common Copyright enough? Who’s responsibility to clear copyright issue. OCW

Can

Providers, Course Contributors or others?

we track every usage of OCW materials

Increasing Faculty Incentive Rewards Acknowledgements Prize,

Certificates etc.

Panel discussion : Issues in near future

Moderator: Michihiko MINOH (Kyoto University)

Problems in future Which

direction we will go? What is the motivation to continue? Will the intellectual property right problem be solved? How do we license the OCW? How do we evaluate the OCW projects?

Cost: Who pay the cost of OCW? Government University Society Contribution Volunteer

Strategy for sustainability What

is the benefit of OCW to the Professors, students, and university? Who decides to continue if the president of the university is changed? Could

How

be a kind of university activities

to make the system for sustainability?

Software system for OCW Database,

Web service, etc. EduCommons is a good example To

maintain with less cost

Content quality To

get involved is more important than the quality of the contents?

How

to maintain the quality of the courses? How to control the quality of the courses when many university join the JOCW?

Intellectual Property problem Who

owns the course material?

Copy

right has to transferred to the university Copy right is licensed to the university Who

owns the lecture archives in video format?

Relation to publisher How

to handle the legal quotation ?

Japan, the quotation is allowed to support the main idea of the contents

Publishers

are with us or against us?

Books

are the competitor of OCW? OCW could be a new media between the lecture and the book/e-learing

Licensing policy Copy

right notice Copy, modify, distribution have to be allowed under OCW What happens, if a course ware contains material without copy right but the permission to be included and/or legal quotation?

End-User support Are

end-users the customers of OCW? Should the questions be answered?

Evaluation Number

of Access Number of courses Number of feedback
