DESCRIPTION
“Wouldn’t it be great if MIT OpenCourseWare…” How many times have you heard this phrase? What if there were a sandbox in which the community could test and experiment with the tools and services that might prove useful to OCW visitors, and more generally OER content providers? Find out what the Office of Educational Innovation and Technology at MIT is doing to setup and support this environment to extend the OCW experience. Presented by Brandon Muramatsu at OCWC Global 2010, Hanoi, Vietnam, May 5, 2010.

What might be possiblewith MIT OCW? (cont.)
Ask a question? Participate in a discussion?Remember, MIT OCW does not provide access to professors
~ Experimented with community-based discussions on 10 courses with OpenLearningSupport in 2004-2006
~ Currently Videolectures.net and Academic Earth support discussions/feedback for videos
All require(d) going to an external site

CAPRETT(Cut and Paste Reuse Tracking Tool)
Cut and paste from a lecture? ✔ Simple cut and paste supported from HTML pages
~ Simple cut and paste possible from PDF/Word/etc.
? What about tynt.com-style support? When the user highlights text, an automatic linkback to exact
location in original page is created
? Extend tynt.com to add attribution information automatically and pasted with text

Intrasite Hyperlinking(Link within the site)
Cross-reference key terms internally across all OCW content? Service:
? Could limit to OCW content, or expand to selected/all OER repositories
? Could link to Wikipedia for definitions
? Development:? Needs subject list, key terms, controlled vocabulary
? Testing with content experts for relevance of search results

What do YOU now wish were possible with MIT OCW?
Framework to show curriculum tracks (pre-requisites, co-requisites)
Trace individual content through varieties of courses, this information builds across courses (flash forward/flash back)
Tools to allow students to manage their own learning—where they’ve been and where they’re going—saved in your own user account, portfolio-plus
Social community around content (learn with, ask questions, motivate, support network)
Recognition (formal or informal) for going through the materials
