I usually don’t cover top ten lists of courses — there’s an awful lot of them, and if I started to cover them all, I’d really have time to do nothing else. But Education Portal is a very popular site that’s spent an awful lot of time promoting OCW, in lists such as the 7 Universities Offering Free Natural Sciences Courses Online, and 10 Colleges and Universities with Free Online Liberal Studies Courses. In any case they’ve put together a list of the Top Ten Free Online Course Sites, and if you’re are doing OCW it’s worth a look. Your institution could even be on it, and if it is, you might follow the example of Top Ten awardee UC Irvine and use that to promote your school. Putting together a press release not only increases exposure for your OCW project, but when tied to a reputable ranking like Education Portal’s, it reminds people in your institution that your OCW site continues to generate interest in your college or university. Think of this as a continuation of Making the Case…
