Open Learning Support ( UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY)

to Utah State University's Open Learning Support: a free and open resource for faculty, students, and self-learners around the world. OLS supports USU's mission by engaging the public, cultivating diversity of thought and culture, and supporting learning.

Open Learning Support:

* Is a space where individuals can connect to share, discuss, ask,
answer, debate, collaborate, teach, and learn.
* Is not a degree-granting or certificate-granting program.
* Does not provide formal access to university faculty.


OLS currently serves seven courses from MIT's OpenCourseWare initiative. OLS will be integrated with additional courses from MIT/OCW and educational materials from other collections over time (you can vote for the courses you would like to see supported next). If you have an MIT/OCW-like collection of educational materials and you would like to integrate with OLS, let us know.

I'm wondering how universities can compete with the MIT courses and stay in business?

Will universities just become big servers?

Will free online learning replace universities?

Will variety and diversity lose out?

Stay tuned to tomorrow.
