The Tufts University OCW site is modeled after the very successful MIT OCW site (it is the third US university to emulate the MIT model, along with Utah University and Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health). Six courses are available in the pilot opening: Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Microbiology, Pathophysiology of Infectious Diseases, Theories of Public Policy, Histology, and Zoological Medicine.
The courses are well presented including Syllabi, Lectures (with full text and slides), Exams and Quizzes, Readings, and Supplementary Materials. The Tufts site is a worthwhile addition to the OCW movement and is framed within the "Tuft's University Sciences Knowledgebase (TUSK), to support faculty and students in teaching and learning. TUSK provides a portal to an integrated body of knowledge and ways to personally organize the vast array of health information through its online curricular materials and related applications."
"Tufts OpenCourseWare is part of a new educational movement initiated by MIT where course content is accessible for free to everyone online. Tufts' initial offerings demonstrate the University's strength in the life sciences, as well as a multidisciplinary approach, an international perspective and an underlying ethic of service to our local, national and international communities."
