Foreword Welcome to the International Conference on Opencourseware 2006 in Kyoto, Japan. Early spring
is one of the best seasons of Kyoto and many tourists enjoy experiencing traditional culture of Japan.
We have two purposes of this conference. One purpose is to exchange information among
universities providing OCW. The other purpose is to encourage other universities to start up their
OCW project. Owing to the effort made by MIT OCW team, the number of universities that
provide OCW is gradually increasing. At this time, it is honorable to have this conference at Kyoto
University, Japan.
The purpose of OCW, to my understanding, is to create human knowledge repository available to all
the people in the world without any cost. Since all the people have right to get educated, OCW
contributes for the people all over the world. Kyoto University joined this activity with other five
universities in Japan, and formed Japan Opencourseware Consortium (JOCW). Since then, we
made effort to make up the system that covers all the work flow of the OCW activities, including the
intellectual property right, the way to make up the OCW from the materials obtained from professors
and the software system to open the digitized courseware. As a result, we have published 40
courses now.
For the first day, we plan to have the audience from universities, in which we discuss our experience
to OCW project. We have an invited talk form MIT, and two panel discussions, one is from Japan
and the other is from the other countries. From these discussions, you may find out what the OCW
situation now, and which direction we proceed. Please enjoy yourself in this new world created by
OCW, a new media for knowledge.
I would like to thank all the members of organizing committee, particularly Executive Director Anne
H. Margulies, Dr. Steve Carson, and Prof. Shigeru Miyagawa from MIT for their continuous
contribution to prepare the conference, and I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Prof.
Yoshimi Fukuhara, Secretary general of JOCW, Keio University, Prof. Haruo Takemura, Osaka
university, and Prof. Naoko Tosa, Kyoto university for their efforts to make the conference happen.

Unlocking Knowledge, Empowering Minds
Anne H. Margulies, Executive Director MIT OpenCourseWare
Abstract
MIT OpenCourseWare (MIT OCW), available online at http://ocw.mit.edu, makes the MIT Faculty's
course materials used in the teaching of almost all of MIT's undergraduate and graduate subjects
available on the Web, free of charge, to any user anywhere in the world. MIT OCW is a large-scale,
Web-based publication of educational materials. Educators in the U.S. and the developing world
utilize the materials for curriculum development, while students and self-learners around the globe
draw upon the materials for self-study or supplementary use. With 1350 courses now available, MIT
OCW is delivering on the promise of open sharing of knowledge.
Sharing concise data and case studies from real users of MIT OCW materials from around the globe,
Anne Margulies will demonstrate how MIT OCW, and the "OpenCourseWare" concept, is gaining
momentum around the world. She will explain the origins of the OCW project from an MIT faculty
committee, how a simple but powerful idea has benefited people all over the globe, and how the
burgeoning OpenCourseWare Movement and the OpenCourseWare Consortium promise to
transform global education.

How Japan OCW Alliance is inaugurated? (1/2)
MIT initially thought selected US universities,CORE (Chinese Open Resource for Education), and some organizations from Europe as founding members of OCW consortium
Japanese universities were not considered as initial partners!
So, why Japan OCW Alliance exists now?
