MIT OCW is not meant to replace degree granting higher education. Rather, the goal is to provide the content that supports an education.
    Open Knowledge Initiative
      The Open Knowledge Initiative (OKI) is a free, "open source" course-management system. OKI is building a scalable, sustainable open-source reference system for internet-enabled education. OKI's architecture and open-source approach is designed to encourage collaborator institutions and a broader educational community to contribute tools and services to continuously expand its utility.

    Webquest
      A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the information used by learners is drawn from the Web. WebQuests are designed to use learners' time well, to focus on using information rather than looking for it, and to support learners' thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis and evaluation.
    Wisconsin Online Resource Center
      The Wisconsin Online Resource Center project is a web-based teaching, learning and assessment resource center for instructors to use when designing or revising online courses. Faculty from throughout the Wisconsin Technical College System create “learning objects” (activities, text, animation, graphics…) for each competency within the General Education courses of Communication Skills, Social Studies, Math, Science, and Adult Basic Education.
