Sow the seed today! 2025 Awards Nomination Guide – Open Education Awards for Excellence
Indeed this is a deep dig, back to the very first year of the Open Education Awards- see all recognized people and projects from 2011. Does it bring back any memories?
In fact, from our older web site, these were called the ACE Awards- who remembers what the acronym stood for?
On updating the OEGlobal page for this particular award (which lacked detail previously), I was unable to locate any information about what happened with the OpenCourseWarre project at the University of Sumatera Utara. I found a mention of it in an archived MIT Open courseware timeline indicating it launched int March 2010.
Since the web link is no longer vital, I connected it to an Internet Archive copy of the old USU OpenCourseWare site.
If anyone has any more information we should add to the awards page for the University of Sumatera Utara’s OCW, please reply below. History matters!
