Steve Carson writes about a recent survey of Japanese attitudes toward open education projects at universities (like OCWs). I have to agree with his selection of a favorite bit from the survey:
Q9: What should be the scope of the universities that open up their lecture materials? (Sample size=1,050)
Just well-known public and private universities 17.2% As many public universities as possible 14.2% As many private universities as possible 3.4% As many public and private universities as possible 64.8% Other 0.4%
Two out of three surveyed felt that as many schools as possible should open access to their courses. I agre with them. =)
