Tufts OpenCourseWare (OCW) seeks to capitalise on the potential of the internet to eliminate borders and geographic distance as obstacles to the instantaneous exchange of knowledge and new ideas. Unlike distance learning programs that charge tuition, provide formal instruction and limit participation, OpenCourseWare offers all course materials free to everyone with online access. Educators from around the world may upgrade their classes; students may enhance their coursework or pursue self-study; the general public may glimpse the depth and breadth of what leading universities are offering and benefit from reading lists and lectures.  OCW does not require any registration and is not a degree-granting or certificate-granting activity.
