| Published | September 2010 |
| Conference | UOC, OU, BYU |
| Region | Europe |
ABSTRACT
Instructor and student beliefs, attitudes and intentions toward contributing to local open courseware (OCW) sites have been investigated through campus-wide surveys at Universidad Politecnica de Valencia and the University of Michigan. In addition, at the University of Michigan, faculty have been queried about their participation in open access (OA) publishing. We compare the instructor and student data concerning OCW between the two institutions, and introduce the investigation of open access publishing in relation to open courseware publishing.| Keywords | OCW · open access · OpenCourseWare · Open Educational Resources · open scholarship · research · Sakai Project · information technology |
