Some news about MIT OpenCourseWare via The New Times in Kigali, Rwanda:
Students and educators in Rwanda can now access course materials from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States (US) through its OpenCourseWare hosted online by the National University of Rwanda (NUR), The New Times has learnt.
Last week, NUR officials announced the partnership with MIT that is expected to make learning and teaching materials of the institute’s faculty more accessible to local university students through the National University of Rwanda’s campus network.
The OCW site is available at ocw.nur.ac.rw.
The link appears to be flaky, but I don’t think it’s wrong.
Incidentally, if you read this and think — oh great, more MIT press — please, send us your stuff! We’ll put it up!
Also I think it’s helpful for the community to know what MIT does, even if its press office is already does a good job of getting out there. It’s possible other institutions are interested in partnering with Rwandan universities — knowing MIT has partnered with NUR is important information in that case.
More conference blogging coming soon….
