OpenCourseWare (or OCW) is a form of Open Educational Resources. It is free coursework, usually from universities, which can be freely accessed via the internet. Only the material is free - instruction is not provided. It may be used by any individuals including students and teachers, or by institutions.
OpenCourseWare is sometimes (always?[verification needed]) open access content rather than open licensed content (i.e. there may be restrictions on your freedom in reusing and adapting it).
Subjects covered include public health and other development and sustainability related topics. See Open Educational Resources for specific courses.
