Youtube Educational Content Creators

Would content from youtube such as PatrickJMT and MinutePhysics be considered OCW? They are high quality educational content but are not backed by an academic institution.Tbobo05 (talk) 06:12, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

the content management systems for OCW

I have added an article/link of one of free opensource content management systems for OCW, eduCommons, to this article, but User:EconoPhysicist deleted all of the article and link. Sorry if that article had some illegal against Wikipedia rules. But I don't understand, why these articles was deleted? I think that these softwares can contribute to OCW, these things should be included into this article for universites in all over the world.--HATA A. K. (talk) 12:08, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate you asking. The reason that I deleted it was that its importance within OCW was not substantiated. If this is indeed an important content management system that is being used by many OpenCourseWare projects, then it merits inclusion in this article. If you re-insert it into the article, please mention universities that are using this system and cite a reference if possible. EconoPhysicist (talk) 21:22, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your reply and explanation. The CMS for OCW helps for openning/constructing OCW for universities. For example, many OpenCourseWare sites in universities (eduCommons adapter's *partial* list http://cosl.usu.edu/projects/educommons/adopters) use the CMS eduCommons. The CMS project at Utah State University attends in MIT OpenCourseWare project (Please see p.33 or 34. in http://ocw.mit.edu/NR/rdonlyres/Special-Programs/SP-772Spring-2005-Summer-2005/9F843D71-8CC3-43CA-8BE1-17A59F406D66/0/l11_opencoursewa.pdf). I do not know other big CMS project for OCW. Unfortunately, I knew about OCW in Japanese page/blog. I do not know good references in English. Therefore, if these references are not enough to insert in Wikipedia, I will wait for being written down by somebody with references.--HATA A. K. (talk) 05:09, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • "many of which have been funded by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation." without citation is added by User:EconoPhysicist, even though the man deleted other articles by other persons without citation. Please add the citation of the information. Is the "many of which" included universities in the world not only USA?--HATA A. K. (talk) 04:59, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question on the current first sentence: I don't know who added the line about OCW being posted in a virtual learning environment, but 95% of the OCW content out there is in fact not in a virtual learning environment and does not support any kind of interactive learning. Most OCW is a static resource without learning support. Should this be changed?
