Chapter+5

===Chapter 5: MIT in Every Home (Opener #4: Leveraged Resources and OpenCourseWare) === **OpenCourseWare (Opener #4):** MIT has succeeded in placing all of its courses online ( [|some 1,890 courses] ). Many are being translated free to the world in Spanish, Portuguese, and simplified as well as traditional Chinese. Hundreds of other universities and other organizations are following in MIT’s footsteps in placing their courses online.

**Community College Course Giveaways (Opener #4):** There is a recent $500 million dollar plan ($50 million per year for ten years) from the Obama administration to create free and open online learning at the community college level. A free library of courses would be available to colleges and their students nationwide. Open courses for community college students will help millions of students explore careers options while giving many of them confidence before returning to school. They can also improve retention once they get there and lower the cost of a degree. Dr. Bonk was quoted and his World is Open book cited in key articles on these plans from the [|Chronicle of Higher Education] as well as [|Inside Higher Education]
