Re: Is the Open Courseware movement going to change the way individuals learn?

I think the Open Courseware movement is going to make it easier for some people to assume a continuous learner perspective, especially those who already have jobs and needed to continuously keep up with new developments. In my case, I was interested on learning the new media - blogging, podcasting, etc. and did not feel I needed to go back to formal school for that. I found an open course online which helped me do just that. And it was free!
