The Global Meta-University
I was looking up this podcast for other reasons, but it reminded me I should link to it here. Charles Vest was president of MIT when OCW was first proposed, and immediately recognized the potential of the idea. In this recording, he describes a vision for how the idea may develop further. Here’s the abstract:
Global connectivity via the Internet presents many challenges and opportunities for higher education. One major opportunity is the democratizing and empowering force of openly shared educational materials. Reflecting on MIT’s experience to date with its OpenCourseWare initiative and related activities, this presentation envisions the rise of a global meta university.
