About Utah State University OCW

What is Utah State University OpenCourseWare?

The idea behind Utah State University OCW is to make Utah State University 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. Utah State University OCW will advance technology-enhanced education at Utah State University, and will serve as a model for university dissemination of knowledge in the Internet age. This venture continues the tradition at Utah State University, 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.

Top
Why is Utah State University doing this?

Because technology makes it possible for us to increase the reach of educational opportunity, we have a moral obligation to do so. Utah State University OCW supports Utah State University's mission to serve the public through learning, discovery, and engagement, and is true to Utah State University's guiding principle that academics come first. As Utah State University enters the 21st century, services like OpenCourseWare enable it to more fully accomplish its land grant mission. Utah State University OCW contributes to the "shared intellectual commons" in academia, which fosters collaboration across Utah State University and among other scholars across disciplines and around the world.

Top
How does Utah State University OCW differ from other types of Web-based education, including distance learning?

Utah State University OCW differs from other Utah State University Web-based education offerings in that it is free and open, does not provide university credit, and grants no access to university faculty. Utah State University 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. Utah State University 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 Utah State University 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. Utah State University 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.

Top
What are the long-term goals of the Utah State University OCW initiative?

We expect Utah State University 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 Utah State University to be represented in the collection. Another goal of Utah State University 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.

Top
Will Utah State University OCW always be free and openly available to anyone in the world?

We are committed to Utah State University OCW remaining a free and openly available publication of the course materials that support the dynamic classroom interactions of a Utah State University 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, Utah State University OCW is also committed to the idea that Utah State University 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. Utah State University OCW is working hard to publish all of the Utah State University faculty's course materials who wish to participate.

Top
How do I get a copy of the course pack for a particular Utah State University course?

These materials are not available, nor will they be in the future, to Utah State University OCW users.

Can I link to the Utah State University OCW Web site from my Web site?

Content

Why is there such variation in the breadth and depth of content presented on individual Utah State University OCW course Web sites?

Each Utah State University OCW course Web site is developed individually with the participating faculty and instructors. It includes as much of the Utah State University 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. Utah State University 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.

Top
Why do some Utah State University 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 Utah State University students--or to the worldwide community of visitors to the Utah State University OCW Web site. In other cases, the instructors plan to re-use in their Utah State University classroom the assignments, quizzes, and exams, and so they do not wish to widely publish their solutions.

Top
Why doesn't every Utah State University OCW course offer video lectures?

Although video lectures are useful for students, there are many reasons that Utah State University OCW does not include video lectures in every course. First is the issue of bandwidth. We are very much focused on making Utah State University'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 Utah State University OCW course, we would be excluding a large portion of the Utah State University OCW audience who are not using high-speed Internet connections. 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. Utah State University OCW does not have that kind of storage capacity, at this time.

A key Utah State University 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 Utah State University OCW.

Intellectual Property

Who owns the intellectual property published on the Utah State University OCW Web site?

Prior to making any course materials publicly available, the Utah State University 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 [See also What do I do if I believe a portion of Utah State University OCW material infringes my copyright?].

The intellectual property policies created for Utah State University OCW are clear and consistent with other policies for scholarly materials used in education. Faculty retain ownership of most materials prepared for Utah State University OCW. Utah State University retains ownership only when significant use has been made of the Institute's resources. If student course work is placed on the Utah State University OCW site, then copyright in the work remains with the student.

How do I properly cite my reuse of Utah State University OCW materials?

To reuse or repost materials from Utah State University OCW, confirm that the license allows for the use you intend. If the license permits reuse, you must give proper attribution to the original Utah State University faculty author(s).

For your convenience, at the bottom of each page, we provide a citation in APA format, a copyright statement and a license for that page.

Or you may chose to cite the resource in the following manner: "This material was created by or adapted from material created by Utah State University faculty member, (Name), (Title), (Year). Copyright © (Year), (Faculty Member's Name)."

As an example, the citation for "Understanding Online Interaction" taught by Utah State University Professor David Wiley would read, "This material was created or adapted from material created by Utah State University faculty member David Wiley, Associate Professor. Copyright © 2004, David Wiley."

If you want to use the course materials on your Web site, and the materials are licensed using a Creative Commons license, you must also include a copy of the Creative Commons license, or clear and reasonable link to its URL (for example, http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/), with every copy of the materials or the derivative work(s) you create from it.

Top
How can I contribute my own educational materials to Utah State University OCW?

The intent of Utah State University OCW is that our Web site should reflect the course materials for what is being taught at Utah State University. The reason for this policy is that the materials presented on the Utah State University OCW site are authored by members of the Utah State University Faculty, and thus, our faculty will take final responsibility for these materials. It would be difficult for Utah State University 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. Utah State University OCW is eager to link to other universities or institutions that have similar goals.

Top

Utah State University Faculty

Are Utah State University faculty required to participate in Utah State University OCW?

Participation of Utah State University faculty in Utah State University OCW is completely voluntary.

Top
How do I contact a specific member of the Utah State University Faculty?

Utah State University OCW is intended as a publication of Utah State University course materials on the Web, and not as an interactive experience with Utah State University faculty. It provides the content of, but is not a substitute for, an Utah State University education. The most fundamental cornerstone of the learning process at Utah State University is the interaction between faculty and students in the classroom, and among students themselves on campus. Utah State University OCW does not offer visitors to the Web site the opportunity for direct contact with Utah State University faculty, though individual portal faculty may choose to list their contact information. Inquiries related to specific course materials will be forwarded to the Utah State University 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.

Top
Will inquiries to Utah State University OCW be answered?

Yes inquiries will be ansered. Utah State University OCW encourages users to provide feedback on the site and the published course materials. The comments and constructive criticism of users will help the Utah State University OCW staff improve the site and published course materials as we continue to evolve.

Usability

What are the technical requirements for viewing Utah State University OCW course materials?
