MSU Open CourseWare (OCW) is an initiative of the university led by MSUglobal Learning Ventures. Our goal is to share the expertise of the University through open educational resources in the form of OpenCourseWare.

MSU OCW provides free and open access to a growing collection of formal course content as well as innovative and educational resources. MSU OCW is a key strategy in MSUglobal's product suite model - a new approach for designing education for specific interest groups.

OpenCourseWare is part of a worldwide effort to produce free and open access to university-level educational resources and material available for use and adaptation by educators, students, and self-learners around the world. For an overview of the worldwide trend, please see:
