SNOW
SNOW (1)
● 'SNOW'(Sookmyung Network for Open World) (www.snow.or.kr) is a community-type OER platform that delivers remarkable courseware around the world to Korean-speaking audience.
● Users can upload OER(open courseware) contents to share, discuss with comments, and participate in translating those contents into Korean.
● SNOW was established to overcome 1. language barrier to knowledge, 2. hardship for scattered academic contents, and 3. difficulty to hand on how to find knowledge on web.
● The website now carries approximately 8,500 videos with Korean scripts.
SNOW (2)
● Especially, SNOW organizes events such as SNOW Knowledge Forum and tape them to create autonomous contents.
● Sookmyung Women’s University is supporting the service.
● Since the contents were selected and brought from various OCW sources, it is important to respect their own CCL conditions. In order to educate the users, SNOW provides a CCL users’ guide.
KOCW
KOCW (1)
● KOCW is a public OCW repository and utilization service run by KERIS (Korea Education and Research Information Service).

e-Nanoschool
"Creating Knowledge-Sharing World with Universities"
● Korean Council for University Education (approx. 250 member institutes) has declared "Creating Knowledge-Sharing World with Universities."
● Organizations such as KERIS, Korean Council for University College Education, Creative Commons Korea, etc. joined this declaration, which makes the participating institutes up to over 300.
● We expect to witness more active OER movement in Korea based on this declaration.

● e-Nanoschool is a nano-technology focused online education program.
● It is one of the first OCW movement results in Korea, idea initiated by Korea Univ. Prof. Kyu-tae Kim, and still ongoing actively.
● It provides courses in a full-semester length curriculum. Students must follow the curriculum schedule in order to complete the course.

● This program offers video tutorials, discussion board, Facebook group, mutually shared study schedule, etc.
● The tutorials keep updating with different material by Egoing.
E-going’s “Life Coding” (2)
● His another project that ended recently is called “Coding for Seniors.”
● It is not really a coding class but more an introductory class for seniors to IT devices such as computers and smartphones.
