“Publicizing all of MIT’s course materials on the Web is only half our mission,” admits MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) program director Anne Margulies. “The other half is to do it in a way that enables others to follow in our footsteps. If we’re the only ones publishing all our course materials, we will have failed. Our ultimate goal is to start an open knowledge movement that will put a vast amount of educational material on the Web—not just MIT materials.”
