The Tufts OpenCourseWare (OCW) project, was a web-based publication of educational material from a number of Tufts University courses, providing open sharing of free, searchable, high-quality course content to educators, students, and self-learners throughout the global community.
The Tufts OCW initiative encouraged the publication and free exchange of course materials on the World Wide Web.
As Tufts OCW is not a distance learning program, no registration, applications, prerequisites, or fees are required and no credit is granted.
TUSK's use of the National Library of Medicine's Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) as the controlled vocabulary for its content management (metadata, searching, etc.)
enables the creation and delivery of integrated, developmental curricula by individuals or teams of faculty across the health sciences.
