MIT Open CourseWare

MIT OpenCourseWare has been releasing its materials — web versions of virtually all MIT course content — under a CC BY-NC-SA license since 2004. Today, MIT OCW has over 2000 courses available freely and openly online for anyone, anywhere to adapt, translate, and redistribute. MIT OCW have been translated into at least 10 languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, French, German, Vietnamese, and Ukrainian. In 2011, MIT OCW celebrated its 10th anniversary, having reached 100 million individuals, and announced MITx, an initiative to provide certification for completion of its courses. The OpenCourseWare concept has now spread to hundreds of universities worldwide.

As an early adopter of Creative Commons, Cory has produced many publications under CC licenses since 2003, including Little Brother under CC BY-NC-SA which spent 4 weeks on the NYTimes bestseller list. In Cory’s words, “I use CC for my speeches, for my articles and op-eds, and for articles and stories that I write for ‘straight’ magazines from Forbes to Radar. My co-editors and I use CC licenses for our popular blog, Boing Boing, one of the most widely read blogs in the world. These licenses have allowed my work to spread far and wide, into corners of the world I never could have reached.” Case Study: Cory Doctorow Commoner Letter: Cory Doctorow

Hello everybody. I am a Librarian and I am usually collection OERs for my users. Especially because there's no much spanish digitalize content for academic purposes.

Of course we have Scielo, Redalyc and Dialnet for many journals. But still we are still looking that online production for books could increase. =)

Any thoughts?

I got an invitation from OER Commons to visit this site that will share in this forum. Maybe we can discuss on the topic of sharing and to what extent do we draw the line into privacy or is there any concept of privacy in the open forums?

Pl share about any OER you have created, used, revised, remixed or adapted. If you can direct to its location, it will be great. Please do tell how effective or otherwise you found that. 
Thank you!
