About RoboticsCourseWare.org

This site was developed based on feedback from many of the world's top academics working in the field of robotics that there existed a need for an open repository of robotics course materials in order to better coordinate the teaching of robotics across universities. To read more about the goals and structure of RoboticsCourseWare.org, you can refer to the following short article: 1. For information about the development of the concept for the site, read more here: 2, 3.

RoboticsCourseWare.org was formally developed by Aaron Dollar, Daniela Rus, and Paolo Fiorini with two grants from the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society under the 'New Initiatives' program.

About OpenCourseWare

There are currently over 100 OpenCourseWare sites currently in existence, mostly based around courses from a specific higher education institution. For more information about OpenCourseWare and specific sites, visit the OpenCourseWare Consortium homepage. To find specific courses, OCWfinder may be useful, but may not be completely up to date.

About eduCommons

This site was built on the eduCommons platform, a plone-based content management system developed specifically to support OpenCourseWare projects.

eduCommons' goals are to:

• Provide free, searchable, access to course materials for educators, students, and self-learners around the world.
• Catalyze the growth of communities of learners.
• Extend the reach and impact of the "opencourseware" concept.

eduCommons was made possible by funding from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and support from MIT OpenCourseWare, including sharing their process documentation, which has contributed significantly to the success of eduCommons.

Appreciation

RoboticsCourseWare.org would like to thank David Ray, Brent Lambert, Kristin Williams, Jessica Banks, and Paulina Varshavskaya for their work on the site.
