This table provides a quick search of the Open Courseware Directory. (For more detailed searches see 'How to use the Open Courseware Directory' in the left sidebar. A Subject Index is also available)

Go to the square corresponding to the intersection of a main subject row with the required 'media type' column - Click on 'ALL' inside a square to find items at all academic levels; otherwise click on:

1. for 'introductory' (university first year undergraduate level - or equivalent)
2. for 'intermediate' (university undergraduate level but excluding first year - or equivalent)
3. for 'advanced' (university graduate level - or equivalent)

Example: To find OCW items containing exam material (sample exams, old papers etc) in introductory Social Sciences go to the bottom right hand corner and click on '1'.

Clicking on one of the Main Subject Areas in the left column will give all OCW items for that subject area.

This provides a quick way of locating the part of the Open Courseware Directory that covers a particular topic - it does not give an exclusive list of OCW items on that topic. Please recommend any

This page, Academic Sites (P-Z) and other sites, lists sites that offer OCW in general, typically covering a range of academic subject areas.

Individual OCW items from these sites might not have been included under subject headings of the Open Courseware Directory (see Open Courseware Directory menus on left). If you find OCW items you would like to recommend please post or, better still, register and create the OCW item yourself.

The final two pages link to information about Open Educational Resources (OER) in general.
