The OCW Toolkit Initiative seeks to collect in one place a portable kit of resources that have proven useful in getting OCW projects off the ground at a variety of institutions. From tips on making the OCW case to IP management software, what are the necessary implements, and how can we get them into the hands of those who need them most? In what ways will needs differ in different regions? In developing/developed countries? In different types of institution? Join the Toolkit Working Group by:

In some ways, "toolkit" is a misleading name for an Initiative which is, in fact, more like a shed containing a number of different toolkits to meet different types of OCW needs. As this shed fills up, you will find resources there for:

  • Making the Case - Internal Buy-In
  • Selecting OCW-related Software
  • Creating and Managing an OCW Team
  • Relating OCW to Pedagogy
  • Addressing Accessibility Issues
  • Maintaining Intellectual Property
  • Creating and Using Metadata
  • Production, Annotation and Editing
  • Internal Communications
  • External Communications
  • Evaluation and Metrics
  • Translation and Localization

If you have resources you would like to share with the group, the Wiki is the place to add or link them.
