DESCRIPTION:Open CourseWare (OCW) is an MIT-led initiative in education\, 
 aiming to provide high quality open-course materials for universities free
 ly on the internet. In this dialogue session\, Dr Bjoern Hassler from the 
 Centre for Applied Research in Educational Technologies (CARET) would like
  to consult students from developing countries to explore ways in which OC
 W might make a difference to teaching and learning at their home universit
 ies.\n\nWhile we are particularly keen to engage with students from develo

  higher education and development issues. The consultation will help to sh
 ape a potential University of Cambridge OCW project.\n\nIf you plan to att

 ll help us gauge the turnout (though those who haven't emailed in advance 
 are welcome to attend as well!). If you have any further questions\, or ar
