A new Web initiative launched at the World Summit on the Infor-
mation Society (WSIS), will connect anyone with Internet access 
and the desire to learn to a world of free, high-quality open 
educational materials. The Development Gateway Foundation?s 
?Open Educational Resources? portal aims to equalize access to 
education and help people in developing countries improve their 
chances for a better life. The portal features free course mate-
rials and other educational content offered by the Massachusetts 
Institute of Technology, the Johns Hopkins School of Public 
Health, Chinese Open Resources for Education and other institu-
tions around the world.
