Leading institutions of higher education in the United States, Europe and Asia are embarking on Open CourseWare (OCW) projects. An international discussion is underway around the value to institutions of higher education, their faculty, students, alumni and their states, of making the materials generated in undergraduate and graduate courses available to the world on the web, including:
* recognition to faculty
* ease of access to materials for students, of past, present and future courses
* availability of materials to alumni
* unlocking the resources of universities to the populations of the states in which they reside
* a way to enhance traditional learning paradigms
* contribution to global education
