The next step

OpenCourseWare is an important step in getting information to those that need it, but I think just as important, and perhaps the 'next step' is an alternative accrediation system. For many, just getting the information is enough, but for others, there needs to be some easy way to show that they have a good understanding of topic X. It looks like this idea of an alternative accreditation is being worked on, or at least talked about...

I think OCW and something along the lines of an ARL would be a nice one-two punch.
