When MIT OpenCourseWare began as a project, the announcement that their “materials organized as courses” would be available to the entire world, sent shock waves throughout the world of education. However, today, “open education” is much more than static materials. Some of the biggest advances are in the world of learning sciences, software engineering, and capture of data useful for feedback to both learners and course designers. In keeping with the expansion of the open education movement, including the renaming of the global OpenCourseWare Consortium to the Open Education Consortium, we have elected to begin a transition in the name and url of the project to UCI OPEN – http://open.uci.edu.
Don’t worry. For the immediate future, your bookmarks that use http://ocw.uci.edu will continue to work.
