The OCW movement, which is part of the larger Open Educational Resources (OER) movement, was pioneered in 2002, when the Massachusetts Institute of Technology launched its OpenCourseWare initiative, making course materials available in digital form on a free and open basis to all. In 2005, MIT helped to organize with the support of the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation a group of not-for-profit organizations interested in following the OpenCourseWare model and standardizing the delivery of OCW material. This group of institutions, known as the OCW Consortium (OCWC), has grown into a concern of more than 200 universities worldwide promoting universal access to knowledge on a nonprofit basis. The mission of OCWC is “to advance formal and informal learning through the worldwide sharing and use of free, open, high-quality educational materials organized as courses.” 22 pages.

Digital interactivity is tailor-made for public media projects that incorporate grassroots creativity, deep-dive examinations of complex issues, and connections to civic activism. Participatory tools and platforms give public media makers the means to secure their own financial futures. For many startups, it is an arduous task creating new paradigms. For legacy media organizations with deeply rooted infrastructure and entrenched, decaying business models, the hurdles to transformation are formidable. However, digital disruption can be harnessed by both as a creative and economic force to redefine the connections of public media projects to their core constituents, including content producers, sponsors and consumers. This is an overview of some emerging business models as they might apply to public media operations, and especially to public broadcasters. Seven pages.

In this paper, the author defines key terms and identifies four broad categories of socially engaged public access production. She then provides specific examples of productions, their producers, and the contexts in which they were created. Finally, she highlights key issues and implications for socially engaged public access production in the future. Eight pages.
