Education

We will add other sites to this list, for now we will just refer to the original Open Education article:

And so it seems, the Open CourseWare (OCW) consortium is pursuing that end.

Here is the wikipedia description of OpenCourseWare.

edX is suggested to follow the OCW framework.

Coursera is not believed to be OCW, although it appears to be a well received and recognized initiative.  It is just our opinion that this list would be remiss if we did not include mention of this online resource.

There is the Open Learning Initiative which caters to both those who want to learn AND those who want to teach.

The wikipedia article on the Sloop project suggests the project is based on the same principles as the free software movement.

And the wikipedia article on Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) has additional information and mentions a number of resources including edX and Coursera.
