May 15, 2013Larry Cooperman Elected to President of the Board of the OCW Consortium
Last week in Bali, Indonesia, Larry Cooperman, the director of UCI’s OpenCourseWare program, was elected as President of the board of the OCW Consortium. Larry is currently serving his second term as a board member of the OCW Consortium. The OpenCourseWare Consortium is comprised of higher education institutions and associated organizations dedicated to expanding access to education.
Larry’s role in the OpenCourseWare movement has grown with the expansion of the UCI’s OpenCourseWare program, which has steadily added new content in recent years. In March, UCI unveiled the OpenChem project, which is a set of video lectures covering the undergraduate curriculum at UC Irvine.

UCI announces OpenChem
The Department of Chemistry and the School of Physical Sciences, in collaboration with UCI OpenCourseWare, have announced today what they are dubbing as “OpenChem,” a set of video lectures that combine four years’ worth of classes that a chemistry major might take. If you’ve sat in a chemistry lecture hall recently, you may have seen students reviewing the whiteboard or the slides from the previous lecture. Now these lectures are available on the UCIrvineOCW YouTube channel as well as through the OCW website. This week, a special website was set up to ease access to the open chemistry lectures.
Today, Monday, March 11, UCIrvine News featured Professor James Nowick, whose success with open publication of his Chem 51A lectures led to the OpenChem project. UCI’s Teaching, Learning & Technology Center videotaped the lecture, which were subsequently published on YouTube. He tells the story below:
