1. What is USU OpenCourseWare?
The idea behind USU OCW is to make USU course materials that are used
in the teaching of undergraduate and graduate subjects available on the
Web, free of charge, to any user anywhere in the world. USU OCW will
advance technology-enhanced education at USU, and will serve as a model
for university dissemination of knowledge in the Internet age. This
venture continues the tradition at USU, and in American higher
education, of open dissemination of educational materials, philosophy,
and modes of thought, and will help lead to fundamental changes in the
way colleges and universities utilize the Web as a vehicle for
education.
2. Why is USU doing this?
Because technology makes it possible for us to increase the reach of
educational opportunity, we have a moral obligation to do so. USU OCW
supports USU's mission to serve the public through learning, discovery,
and engagement, and is true to USU's guiding principle that academics
come first. As USU enters the 21st century, services like
OpenCourseWare enable it to more fully accomplish its land grant
mission. USU OCW contributes to the "shared intellectual commons" in
academia, which fosters collaboration across USU and among other
scholars across disciplines and around the world.
3. How does USU OCW differ from other types
of Web-based education, including distance learning?
USU OCW differs from other USU Web-based education offerings in that it
is free and open, does not provide university credit, and grants no
access to university faculty. USU OCW is not a distance-learning
initiative. Distance learning involves the active exchange of
information between faculty and students, with the goal of obtaining
some form of a credential. Increasingly, distance learning is also
limited to those willing and able to pay for materials or course
delivery. USU OCW is not meant to replace degree-granting higher
education or for-credit courses. Rather, the goal is to provide the
content that supports an education.
Many individual faculty members at USU and other universities already use the Web extensively to make standard course materials available to their students. Some colleges and universities now require a Web site for every class. But, to a large extent, these Web sites are designed for, and access is only provided to, the students enrolled at these institutions. USU OCW is an unprecedented effort of a much broader magnitude, as the goal is to provide the course materials free and open to the world.
4. What are the long-term goals of the USU
OCW initiative?
We expect USU OCW to grow to encompass the course materials of all
faculty who are willing to participate. Over time, the goal is for most
of the courses offered at USU to be represented in the collection.
Another goal of USU OCW is to catalyze the development of groups or
communities around the course materials. Individuals participating in
these informal groups will coach, mentor, and support each other in
their learning, adding significant value to the materials themselves.
Finally, we strongly desire to extend the reach and impact of the
"opencourseware" concept.
5. Will USU OCW always be free and openly
available to anyone in the world?
We are committed to USU OCW remaining a free and openly available
publication of the course materials that support the dynamic classroom
interactions of a USU education. Even as we continue to grow and
evolve, the materials will always remain free and open to all. Along
with this commitment to remaining free and open, USU OCW is also
committed to the idea that USU OCW is not a distance-learning, or a
degree-granting, initiative, and that there will not be a registration
process required for users to view course materials now or in the
future. USU OCW is working hard to publish all of the USU faculty's
course materials who wish to participate.
6. Do I need to register to use USU OCW
course materials?
Because USU OCW is not a distance-learning, or a degree-granting,
initiative, there is no registration process required for users to view
course materials. USU OCW is a publication of the course materials that
support the dynamic classroom interactions of an USU education. USU OCW
is available on the Web, free of charge, to any user anywhere in the
world.
7. Where are the course materials?
To find what courses are available at this time, view the complete course list. Once you have accessed
a particular course site, the left-hand navigation bar of each course
homepage will detail what materials are available for that individual
course.
8. How do I find what courses are
available?
There are three ways to access the materials: Utilize the Search
function that can be found in the left-hand corner of every page on the
USU OCW site. Search for specific text, such as certain academic
discipline area, across all courses or within just one course. To
perform a detailed search, use our Advanced
Search.
A second way to see what courses are available is to click on Course List that is listed in the top right-corner navigation of every page on the USU OCW Web site. This will allow you to view the list of every available course.
9. How can I use USU OCW course
materials?
USU OCW can be considered a large-scale, Web-based publication of the
course materials that support an USU education. Educators are
encouraged to utilize the materials for curriculum development,
students can augment their current learning by making use of the
materials offered, and self-learners are encouraged to draw upon the
USU OCW for self-study or supplementary use. Course materials offered
on the USU OCW Web site may be used, copied, distributed, translated,
and modified, but only for non-commercial educational purposes that are
made freely available to other users under the same terms defined by
the USU OCW legal notice.
10. What are the prerequisites to use USU
OCW materials?
Because USU OCW is not a distance-learning, or a degree-granting,
initiative, there is no registration process required for users to view
course materials. There are also no prerequisites for users who utilize
USU OCW course materials in their own learning. However, each course
site indicates the prerequisites and corequisites that are required of
USU students.
11. Does USU OCW offer discounts on
textbooks or software applications utilized in the course
materials?
USU OCW does not sell, offer vendor discounts for, or represent any
vendor who may sell the software, books, or other materials that users
of USU OCW may require to understand the course materials offered on
the USU OCW Web site.
12. How do I get a copy of the course pack
for a particular USU course?
The course-pack materials that accompany most USU courses often contain
proprietary information and copyrighted materials that USU Faculty only
use in their classroom interactions with USU students. These materials
are not available, nor will they be in the future, to USU OCW
users.
13. I have seen (or I am/represent) an
individual, organization, or institution that offers to teach USU
courses or tutor students based on USU materials. Does USU approve or
recognize such individuals or organizations?
No, USU has no relationship with, grants no special permission to, and
does not approve, endorse, or certify any organizations, teachers,
tutors, or other service providers who use educational materials
available on the USU OCW Web site in connection with their services.
Except for students admitted to USU, USU does not authorize the
granting of any kind of degree, certificate, or other recognition for
participation in or completion of any course of study based on or using
published USU course materials.
14. Can I/my organization state on
our Web site or in our literature that we make use of USU OCW course
materials?
In accordance with the terms of the Creative
Commons license used by USU OCW, you must give credit to USU and
the faculty author of the course materials anytime you use USU OCW
materials. However, any reference to USU (including the USU name in any
of its forms or USU seals or logos) that deliberately or inadvertently
claims, suggests, or in USU's sole judgment gives the appearance or
impression of a relationship with or endorsement by USU, is
prohibited.
15. Can I link to the USU OCW Web
site from my Web site?
Links to USU OCW or to courses or pages within the USU OCW Web site
are permitted so long as the use of the materials associated with the
link is permitted under the terms of the Creative
Commons license used by USU OCW, the link is freely accessible
(e.g., no restrictions or fee for access); and there is no claim,
appearance, or implication of an affiliation with or endorsement by
USU. USU OCW cannot guarantee the persistence of any specific link
other than those to the USU OCW homepage.
16. Why is there such variation in the
breadth and depth of content presented on individual USU OCW course Web
sites?
Each USU OCW course Web site is developed individually with the
participating faculty and instructors. It includes as much of the USU
faculty member's course materials as is available in a digital format,
or can be cost-effectively prepared; and is free of Intellectual
Property and copyright restrictions. USU faculty and instructors
participate only voluntarily, and publish only as much content as they
are comfortable having on a Web site that is freely accessible
worldwide.
17. Why do some USU OCW course sites lack
solutions to assignments, quizzes, and exams?
In some cases, solutions to homework assignments, quizzes, and exams
are only discussed and presented in the classroom, and not made
available in print or electronic format to the USU students - or to the
worldwide community of visitors to the USU OCW Web site. In other
cases, the instructors plan to re-use in their USU classroom the
assignments, quizzes, and exams, and so they do not wish to widely
publish their solutions.
18. Why doesn't every USU OCW course offer
video lectures?
Although video lectures are useful for students, there are many reasons
that USU OCW does not include video lectures in every course. First is
the issue of bandwidth. We are very much focused on making USU's
courses materials as accessible as possible to users all over the
world, including the developing world. If we were to start depending on
the video component as THE key element of every USU OCW course, we
would be excluding a large portion of the USU OCW audience who are
still surfing the Web on 28K modems. They would never be able to
download the videos and we are very sensitive to that fact.
Another key concern about video is cost. The technology for compressing and storing video becomes more and more affordable by the day, but it is still not affordable, or feasible from a production standpoint, for us to be compressing 20 video lectures for all of our courses. USU OCW does not have that kind of storage capacity, at this time.
A key USU OCW audience is educators, and for them, we are hoping that by providing the syllabus, reading lists and lecture notes, we are offering a chance for them to jumpstart their own pedagogy and improve the way they teach their chosen discipline. While video lectures are very easy for people with fast Internet connections to watch, they do not really fulfill the mission of USU OCW.
19. Who owns the intellectual property
published on the USU OCW Web site?
Prior to making any course materials publicly available, the USU OCW
team has reviewed all material extensively to determine the correct
ownership of the material and obtain the appropriate licenses to make
the material openly available on the Web. We will promptly remove any
material that is determined to be infringing on the rights of others.
If you believe that a portion of USU materials infringes another's
copyright, please use the feedback link below to notify us by email.
The intellectual property policies created for USU OCW are clear and
consistent with other policies for scholarly materials used in
education. Faculty retain ownership of most materials prepared for USU
OCW. USU retains ownership only when significant use has been made of
the Institute's resources. If student course work is placed on the USU
OCW site, then copyright in the work remains with the student.
20. What are the requirements of use for
USU OCW users?
The underlying premise and purpose of USU OCW is to make course
materials used in USU courses freely and openly available to others for
non-commercial educational purposes. Through USU OCW, USU grants the
right to anyone to use the materials, either "as is," or in a modified
form. There is no restriction on how a user can modify the materials
for the user's purpose. Materials may be edited, translated, combined
with someone else's materials, reformatted, or changed in any other
way. However, there are three requirements that an USU OCW user must
meet to use the materials:
-
Non-commercial: Use of USU OCW materials is open to all except for profit-making entities who charge a fee for access to educational materials.
-
Attribution: Any and all use or reuse of the material, including use of derivative works (new materials that incorporate or draw on the original materials), must be attributed to USU and, if a faculty member's name is associated with the material, to that person as well.
-
Share alike (aka "copyleft"): Any publication or distribution of original or derivative works, including production of electronic or printed class materials or placement of materials on a Web site, must offer the works freely and openly to others under the same terms that USU OCW first made the works available to the user.
Please refer to the Creative Commons license for our specific licensing terms and conditions. If you would like to use USU OCW course materials, but you are unsure whether your intended use qualifies as non-commercial use, please contact us using the feedback link at the bottom of the page.
21. How does USU define non-commercial
use?
A commercial use would involve the assessment of a direct or indirect
fee for use of the USU OCW materials, or any derivation or modification
of the USU OCW material, or any other commercial exploitation of USU
OCW materials. All uses, reuse, and distribution of USU OCW material,
including works derived from USU OCW material, must be attributed to
USU OCW and to the original authors where identified on the USU OCW
materials you distribute. If you would like to use USU OCW course
materials, but you are unsure whether your intended use qualifies as
non-commercial use, please contact us using the feedback link at the
bottom of the page.
22. How do I properly cite my reuse of USU
OCW materials?
If you choose to reuse or repost USU OCW materials you must give proper
attribution to the original USU faculty author(s). Please utilize the
following citation "This material was created by or adapted from
material created by Utah State University faculty member, (Name),
(Title), (Year). Copyright 穢 (Year) (Faculty Member's Name)."
As an example, the citation for "Understanding Online Interaction" taught by USU Professor David Wiley would read, "This material was created or adapted from material created by USU faculty member David Wiley, Assistant Professor. Copyright 穢 2004 David Wiley."
If you want to use the materials on your Web site, you must also include a copy of the Creative Commons license used by USU OCW, or clear and reasonable link to its URL (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/), with every copy of the USU OCW materials or the derivative work you create from it.
23. How can I contribute my own educational
materials to USU OCW?
The intent of USU OCW is that our Web site should reflect the course
materials for what is being taught at USU. The reason for this policy
is that the materials presented on the USU OCW site are authored by
members of the USU Faculty, and thus, our faculty will take final
responsibility for these materials. It would be difficult for USU OCW
to guarantee the accuracy and originality of materials we received from
outside sources. However, we encourage other universities to create
their own "opencourseware" in which materials from their courses would
be posted online and openly shared with the world. USU OCW is eager to
link to other universities or institutions that have similar goals.
24. What do I do if I believe a portion of
USU OCW Material infringes my copyright?
USU OCW, prior to making any USU OCW Materials publicly available, has
reviewed all material extensively to determine the correct ownership of
the material and obtain the appropriate licenses to make the material
available on USU OCW. USU OCW will promptly remove any material that is
determined to be infringing on the rights of others. If you believe
that a portion of USU OCW Material infringes another's copyright,
please send us feedback. If you do not include an electronic signature
with your claim, you may be asked to send or fax a follow-up copy with
a signature. To file the notification, you must be either the copyright
owner of the work or an individual authorized to act on behalf of the
copyright owner. Your notification must include:
- Identification of the copyrighted work, or, in the case of multiple works at the same location, a representative list of such works at that site.
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity. You must include sufficient information, such as a specific URL or other specific identification, for us to locate the material.
- Information for us to be able to contact the claimant (e.g., email address, phone number).
- A statement that the claimant believes that the use of the material has not been authorized by the copyright owner or an authorized agent.
- A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and that the claimant is, or is authorized to act on behalf of, the copyright owner.
25. Are USU faculty required to participate
in USU OCW?
Participation of USU faculty in USU OCW is completely voluntary.
26. How do I contact a specific member of
the USU Faculty?
USU OCW is intended as a publication of USU course materials on the
Web, and not as an interactive experience with USU faculty. It provides
the content of, but is not a substitute for, an USU education. The most
fundamental cornerstone of the learning process at USU is the
interaction between faculty and students in the classroom, and among
students themselves on campus. USU OCW does not offer visitors to the
Web site the opportunity for direct contact with USU faculty. Inquiries
related to specific course materials will be forwarded to the USU
faculty member associated with that course for their consideration.
However, due to the tremendous volume of email inquiries received, it
is unlikely he or she will answer all emails.
27. Will inquiries to USU OCW be
answered?
USU OCW encourages users to provide feedback on the site and the
published course materials. The comments and constructive criticism of
users will help the USU OCW staff improve the site and published course
materials as we continue to evolve during the pilot phase of this
initiative.
28. What technology is used to publish the
USU OCW Web site?
USU OCW runs on the open source eduCommons
software. The current technical solution has been in use since January
2005 with a four-person technical support team managing all aspects of
this infrastructure.
The planning tools used by the USU OCW team to assist faculty in publishing their course materials include a portion of the workflow in eduCommons, and several checklists and documents. For creating and managing content, we use several desktop tools (file conversion tools) as well as eduCommons, that together fully support our publishing process. Our content delivery infrastructure includes a production cluster and a content staging cluster.
For more information on eduCommons, please contact the eduCommons OCW Outreach Director.
29. Is USU OCW an open source
project?
USU OCW is firmly committed to open systems and will share its approach
and the open source eduCommons software with those who may want to
launch similar efforts. eduCommons has a dedicated team of four
developers focused on extending the platform, features and functions to
meet USU OCW and other institution's needs.
30. Is it within the USU OCW use license to
translate the course materials?
USU asks that any USU OCW materials translated into other languages from the original English must be accompanied by the following disclaimer: "These USU OpenCourseWare course materials have been translated into [YOUR LANGUAGE] by [YOUR INSTITUTION] and USU OpenCourseWare makes no representations or warranties of any kind concerning the materials, express or implied, including, without limitation, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or the absence of errors, whether or not discoverable. USU OpenCourseWare bears no responsibility for any inaccuracies in translation. Any inaccuracies or other defects contained in this material, due to inaccuracies in language translation, are the sole responsibility of [YOUR INSTITUTION] and not USU OpenCourseWare."
31. What are the technical requirements for
viewing USU OCW course materials?
The majority of USU OCW course sites work on both the Macintosh and
Windows platforms. Although higher-speed connections are preferable,
slower connections, such as 28K modems, should allow users to view most
materials on the sites. However, downloading materials may take
somewhat longer. USU OCW has tested the course sites with Netscape
version 4.75 and Internet Explorer version 5.5 browsers.
32. What is metadata and why is it
important to USU OCW?
Metadata is, literally, "data about data." Metadata can be better
understood as information that describes other information. For
example, this Web page of FAQs for USU OCW has an author, a title, a
date of creation, and a unique Internet address; this information
constitutes the metadata about this page. Metadata enables
sophisticated, powerful, and accurate searches across USU OCW course
materials.
33. How do I change the font-size on the
USU OCW Web site?
The fonts and style of the USU OCW Web site have been specifically
selected to meet certain design and accessibility standards. The USU
OCW Team has tested the site and these standards across a wide variety
of browsers and platform. However, some users may still find that their
browser configurations continue to display the text too small. You can
change the displayed font size using your browser's View menu. In
Netscape 7, there is a "VIEW - Text-Zoom" selection (try 120%). In
Netscape 4.x, there is a "VIEW - Increase Font" selection. In Internet
Explorer, you can select "VIEW - Text-Size - Larger or Largest." We
hope this helps you to more comfortably view the USU OCW course
materials.
34. Will the USU OCW Web site be compliant
with W3C standards and accessibility requirements?
All course mateirals published on the USU OCW site are valid XHTML and
meet Section 508 and WAI-AA guidelines. Our style guide includes
validating and checking the accessibility of HTML as part of the
authoring process. We require all images to contain ALT attributes and
all links to contain TITLE tags.
35. What information does USU OCW collect
from visitors to the Web site?
The information we learn from visitors helps us improve the USU OCW
site, and assists our foundation sponsors in evaluation of usage,
access, and impact of USU OCW on the worldwide educational community.
USU OCW collects the following information from visitors:
-
Information You Provide: We receive and store any information you enter on our Web site or give us in any other way. You provide most such information when you submit feedback on the site, contact us by email, or agree to participate in a visitor survey. This information may include your name and email address, your academic status, your institution, your geographic region, how you are using USU OCW, and what you think of USU OCW. In all cases, any information you provide is strictly optional and voluntary and you may choose to use the USU OCW site without ever providing this information. If you voluntarily provide your email address or other contact information, we will not share personal information with anyone without first requesting your explicit permission to do so.
-
Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with the USU OCW Web site. Examples of the information we collect and analyze include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the USU OCW site; computer and connection information such as browser type and version, operating system, and platform, and; content you viewed or searched for during your visit to USU OCW. During some visits we may use software tools to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, and length of visits to certain pages. However, none of this information is personally identifiable or linked back to you individually.
36. What are "cookies," and does USU OCW
make use of cookies on its Web site?
USU OCW uses "cookies" in a limited way. Cookies are alphanumeric
identifiers that this Web site transfers to your computer's hard drive
through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your
browser when you make return trips to the site. This allows us to track
your use of the site (anonymously), and to analyze patterns in site
use, such as repeat visits, length of visits, and breadth of content
used, for example). Cookies also allow us to conduct periodic, online,
voluntary user surveys where we can gain more insight into what type of
people are actually using the site, how they are using the site, and
what the educational impact of the site is on these users.
USU OCW's use of cookies is designed to be unobtrusive, and we do not collect personally identifiable information through their use. However, if you do not wish to accept cookies, the "Help" portion of the toolbar on most Web browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Disabling cookies will in no way affect your access to content on the USU OCW site. If you leave cookies enabled on your Web browser, you may be asked to complete a brief questionnaire that will help us gain a better understanding of the use and impact of USU OCW.
37. Does USU OCW share the information it
receives?
Information about our site visitors is an important part of
understanding and extending the impact of USU OCW in the worldwide
academic community. Individual personally identifiable information
about users (name, email address, etc) will not be made available to
third parties except as outlined below, nor will it ever be used for
commercial purposes. We share user information only as described
below.
-
Agents: We employ companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include compiling and categorizing user feedback, analyzing survey data or data about your use of the site, and providing customer support. These agents have access to user information needed to perform their functions, for example, but may not use this information for any other purposes. These agents are bound by non-disclosure agreements.
-
USU OCW Sponsors: We work closely with philanthropic organizations that provide the funding that makes USU OCW possible. These sponsors are interested in evaluating access, use, and impact of the USU OCW Web site in order to determine if USU OCW is achieving its objectives. We will provide information on a regular basis to these sponsors for evaluation purposes. We will not share any personally identifiable information such as name or email address unless you have given us explicit permission to do so.
-
Institutions interested in the "opencourseware movement": Part of USU OCW's mission as an organization is to encourage other educational institutions to openly share their course materials with the world, as USU is doing. In order to accomplish this objective, we are committed to sharing what we learn in public forums, at educational conferences, and with other educational institutions. This may include aggregate data about usage of the site, feedback we have received, and the impact of USU OCW on people throughout the world. However, in no case will we share any personally identifiable information, such as name or email address, unless you have given us explicit permission to do so.
38. Why does this PDF not open correctly in
my Acrobat 4.0/Acrobat 5.0 Reader?
A small percentage of the PDF documents offered on the USU OCW Web site
may be compatible only with Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Reader. If you would like
to view such a file, we recommend downloading the Acrobat Reader 6.0
from the Adobe Web site at http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/main.html.
Meanwhile, we are currently working to identify these files and
optimize them to fully function with Acrobat Reader versions 4.0, 5.0,
and 6.0. Please contact us if should you notice a file that has this
issue when attempting to view and we will work to fix it. In your
message, be sure to include your version number of Adobe Acrobat, your
browser type and version as well as what operating system you are
using. Also, if you would identify the course, section and name of the
PDF that would assist us in locating and correcting it.
39. How can I support USU OCW with a
financial donation?
It is particularly generous of you to offer a financial contribution to
support USU OCW. This is a wonderful endorsement of what we hope to
