=OPDF and OCW=
 * **Rules for OCW consortium participation** http://www.ocwconsortium.org/ocwcforum/viewtopic.php?t=27
 * **Consortium Institutions vs.** **Consortium Affiliates**
 * OpenOCW - http://openocw.org/ Let's anyone contribute a course into OCW

OCW is an insititutional initiative. I really think our line should be: a) we are willing to fun proposals to help jump start OCW at your institution b) we are also willing to fund course content to be shared through OCW, BUT - primary point of OPDF is to fund online courses in BC. So we will fund original content development; if you want to share it through OCW, that is fine, but you become responsible for getting in there if that is a separate action.
