The following pages provide an A - Z of sites that carry a range of Higher Education OCW. (For individual courses in specific subject areas see the menu on the left.) A "course" is taken to be a series of presentations that treat an academic topic in reasonable depth. Some sites offering or linking to single academic lectures are not included here but might be found in the section on OER. Sites where most OCW items are not in English have usually been omitted but recommendations are welcome if you have the relevant language.

What is Open Courseware (OCW)? - see Open Courseware FAQ.

University and College Sites (A - O), along with University and College Sites (P-Z) and Other Sites, list websites offering OCW in general, typically covering a range of academic subject areas.

Only free and open sites carrying "significant" OCW items (notes, images, videos etc) covering academic topics in some depth, are included. Items consisting only of course advertisements or sub-topic headings are not included in the Open Education Directory - see About the iBerry Open Education Directory.
