Abstract
The ground-breaking launch of MIT's Open Course-Ware initiative (http://ocw.mit.edu) in 2002 marked a major shift in the paradigm of restricted access to academic materials. MIT decided to open its ~1800 courses to the general public, allowing free usage of course materials, syllabi, exercises, presentations and lecture notes for anyone who wishes to. Faculty members were encouraged to publish their study materials, and with a clever design and a sophisticated portal, achieved rapid publication and dissemination of course materials on-line. This new "Open Course-Ware" term sent a huge shock wave throughout the higher-education establishment.
