2. 日本顶尖的大学积极投入开放式课程计划
----------------------------------------------------------------
六所日本顶尖的大学 – 庆应义塾大学、京都大学、大阪大学、东京理工学院、东京大学与早稻田大学 – 宣布组成日本开放式课程合作团队。
在5月13日星期五，六所大学校长们齐聚在东京，并宣布他们已经加入了麻省理工学院的行列，透过与麻省理工开放式课程相容的系统，他们提供了约包含10（朱注：根据我们的计算应该是200余门）门课程的内容，做为代表日本为资讯时代的进步所做的贡献。
这六所大学已建置了入口网页，网址是：http://www.jocw.jp。要分别造访这六所日本大学的开放式课程计划，请参考下列连结：
麻省理工学院开放式课程及“开放式课程”的观念是大规模的知识开放运动的一部份，这运动是促使能够免费与无限制地接触在教育机构中使用的主要教材。在此我们也非常高兴这六所顶尖的日本大学能与麻省理工学院、约翰．霍普金斯大学的公共卫生学院以及犹他州立大学一起发行“开放式课程”的计划。
3.一个常见问题
----------------------------------------------------------------
问：麻省理工学院是否会更新原先发布在麻省理工开放式课程先期计划中的课程？
答：在2005年4月，麻省理工开放式课程开始将一些较旧的课程进行归档，并以更新的版本(新的年份及学期)来更换那些课程。某些课程在教学的方法上有相当大的差别，某些则是增加了教学与学习的资源。这些更新的课程表列在网页 http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Global/OCWHelp/updatedcourses.htm。
4约翰．霍普金斯公共卫生学院的开放式课程计划
----------------------------------------------------------------
位于马里兰州巴的摩尔的约翰．霍普金斯．彭博公共卫生学院(JHSPH)是世界知名的公共卫生领域的国际权威。JHSPH每天藉由开创性的新研究来确保世界上数以百万的人们免于疾病与伤害，为防护全球人类生命而散布其知识与专业技术及教育明日的科学家与实践者。约翰．霍普金斯公共卫生学院的开放式课程计划提供了学校最热门课程的教材给使用者阅览。
5.犹他州立大学的开放式课程计划
----------------------------------------------------------------
犹他州立大学 (USU)是美国以学生为中心，由国家捐地所成立的优秀大学。座落在风景优美的犹他州罗根市，犹他州立大学教授们的教学与发表的研究都获得了全国的认同。犹他州立大学的校友在最近几年有四位获选为Goldwater学者，一位获选为Rhodes学者。犹他州立大学的开放式课程计划实践了犹他州立大学的使命，透过学习、发现与参与来服务人群。在犹他州立大学迈向21世纪时，开放式课程计划的服务使她能更彻底地完成其身为土地拨赠法案学校的使命。

2. Top Japanese Universities Launch OCW Projects
----------------------------------------------------------------
The top six universities in Japan - Keio University, Kyoto University, Osaka University, Tokyo Institute of Technology, the University of Tokyo, and Waseda University - have announced the formation of the Japan OCW Collaboration Group.
On Friday, May 13, the presidents of the six universities gathered in Tokyo to announce they had joined with MIT to make available, through a system compatible with MIT OCW, course content for approximately 10 courses, contributing to the progress of the information age as representatives of Japan. The six universities have created a portal page at http://www.jocw.jp. To visit the six individual Japanese OCW projects, see the following links:
MIT OCW and the "opencourseware" concept is a part of the larger open knowledge movement that promotes free and unrestricted access to the primary teaching materials for courses taught at educational institutions. So it is with great excitement that we are pleased these six leading Japanese universities are joining with MIT, Johns Hopkins University's School of Public Health, and Utah State University in launching OCW-like projects.
3. A Frequently Asked Question
----------------------------------------------------------------
QUESTION: Will MIT update the courses originally published in the MIT OCW pilot project in September 2002?
ANSWER: In April 2005, MIT OCW began archiving some of its older courses and replacing them with updated versions of those courses (with new years and terms). Some of the courses are substantially different in teaching methodology, while some now offer additional teaching and learning resources. The updated courses are listed at http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Global/OCWHelp/updatedcourses.htm.
4 . Johns Hopkins School of Public Health OCW
