]]> Comment on OCW Consortium Newsletter Feb. 2010 by Muvaffak Gozaydin http://ocwblog.org/2010/02/22/ocw-consortium-newsletter-feb-2010/comment-page-1/#comment-4056 Muvaffak Gozaydin Wed, 24 Feb 2010 09:00:23 +0000 http://ocwblog.org/?p=479#comment-4056 Dear Meena : We had some correspondance before. I liked the OCW of MIT first when it was introduced in 2001 or so. But later when I found out academicearth.com with free online courses iÅŸncluding some MIT courses I was facinated. ONLINE course is 10 times better and 10 times more useful to students directly. I had a one more " value added " to those as well. Those Yale courses are taken by Turkish Universities students directly under the supervision of a local professor and then they get a credit for the course. To add many courses to Turkish university from best universities of the world without any investment and only 25 % salary to local professor. Students is happy. professor is happy. University is happy thet are dealing with first class universities of the world. So I say let us forget about OCW but let us go to Open ONLINE Courses to the world in English . Not free though. Only $ 10-20 per course per semester, per person so that it will be sustainable. Please comment mgozaydin@hotmail.com from Turkey Dear Meena :
