More good news on the open content front. "The University of the Western Cape (UWC) has made a policy decision to make its course material freely available over the Internet. This is believed to be a first for an African university. Material that will be made available includes courses, syllabuses, lecture notes and exam papers." Also worth noting: "Unlike MIT, which received $11million in grants to get its OCW initiative going, UWC's free and open content project has no outside funding, says Keats. 'It's a UWC initiative. We see it as part of our normal university function.'" Via the OpenCourseWare Consortium.
