25. advancing formal and informal learning through the worldwide sharing and use of free, open, high-quality education materials organized as courses. In what ways can OCW be improved? A meta directory of available courses I want to see a listing of courses by subject, suggestions about which courses to take in which order, etc. Only the searching could be improved. A nice page of all courses by subject. The way in which the courses are indexed could be improved. List the courses The problem is browsing becomes a chore and turns me away
