AIT recently decided to carry on with the launch of AIT's own version of an Open
Courseware. The initiative was in line with the ones proposed by MIT and the Open
Courseware consortium. The decision was reached at the President's Advisory Council
Meeting held on 8 February 2007.
The initiative is aimed to further raise AIT's profile as a unique provider of knowledge
in specific areas of development, technology and management in an Asian context. The move
will likewise enable the institute to better promote itself among prospective students
and to create incentives to raise the quality of the institute's educational materials.
Prof. Peter Haddawy, AIT Vice President for Academic Affairs, will lead in further
defining AIT's approach in this very exciting new venture and will communicate
developments with the community. AIT President Said Irandoust strongly encourages
interested faculty and staff to join and support.
