OpenCourse.org, and an OLS update

Here’s another SourceForge for educational materials project — http://opencourse.org/. They’ve beaten us to the punch and actually opened their doors to three projects! Congratulations to the OpenCourse team, who are funded by NSF/NSDL monies. Our EduCommons project (funded by the Hewlett Foundation) won’t be ready for several months yet. It’s good to see good ideas being implemented all around. I know there’s at least one other group planning similar software….

In other news, OLS (our social software which wraps around OCW) will be opening in early April. Anyone interested in participating in testing during the next two weeks, please drop me an email (*not* a comment).
