OCW未来的发展和价值扩展三要素

OCW未来的发展和价值扩展，尤其是在MIT以外，和以下几方面密切相关：

社区：如何基于资源使用建立得到支持的社区，支持资源的利用。（这一点在OLS得到体现，也在人民大学的精品课程中有体现）

模块：结构良好的课程，如何有效得整合进入不同人、不同需要的不同方式中。（Rice Connexions）

可持续发展：成本控制，技术升级，数字版权，语音和文化差异，技术使用的管理等。

Connexions项目的特点

content in Connexions is arranged in building blocks called modules. Like folders, modules contain the text, images, and Connexions files about a specific topic；Instructors can incorporate the modules into their own courses as they see fit and can modify them if they choose.

three key differences between Connexions content and that found on public contribution sites such as Wikipedia:

•   no anonymous authors,
•   multiple entries per topic,
•   a system that will allow content to be "filtered" by professional societies, editorial boards, and publishers.

    Anything you can do on the Web, you can do in Connexions.

    Although other universities are experimenting with making course content available at no charge--such as MIT's Open Courseware project, which makes the syllabi and some course notes of many MIT courses available online for free in PDF format。Connexions is the main exemplar of a truly open, intra-institutional kind of effort.
