OpenCourseWare (OCW) is an example of the actions that have recently emerged to promote the free and unrestricted access to knowledge.In April 2001, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) launched the OCWMIT (http://ocw.mit.edu/index.html ), an initiative that offers free access to the materials of work of its teachers. OCWMIT has had a major impact and has encouraged other international leading universities to create their own projects in coordination with OCW-MIT OCW’s aim is to disseminate, through freee acces digital media, educational resources structured in subjects and oriented towards higher education. From the beginning UNIVERSIA is commited with this project and promotes, taking advantage of its character of Network of Universities, the creation of the Universia OCW ( http://mit.ocw.universia.net/ ), whose purpose is to facilitate a significant presence of iberoamerican universities, and the cultures they represent in the global OCW Project.
