My paper at Ed-Media 2008. Abstract; In 2007, Delft University of Technology started Delft OCW (Open Courseware), a project with the objective of publishing educational resources online. This paper focuses on the future of this project, and describes the results of the research on its sustainability. The advice includes (i) the development of a more decentralized environment for Open Educational Resources (OER), (ii) the involvement of other OER projects, educational institutes, private organizations, and end-users, (iii) the management and support of this environment through tools and protocols, and (iv) deploying various business and revenue models to address the full potential of the project.

University of the People (UoP) is the world's first tuition-free, online academic institution and will open its virtual doors in April 2009.

great blogpost showing many OER, OCW and other websites that host resources for learning. recommended.

Why OERs? What are we trying to achieve? The simplest possible formulation I can give is "To provide resources that increase the quantity and quality of informal and formal learning opportunities worldwide."
