OCW Serves Current Students
SPOTLIGHT ON UC IRVINEUCI’s OCW Attracts Students to its Degree Programs in Public Health
Dr. Oladele Ogunseitan, UCI Professor of Public Health
On adding the Public Health collection to OCW: “We designed a series of seminars featuring really excellent speakers from different parts of the country and we saw this as a very important way to let people know what UCI is doing in public health It was timely that when we began the series, we had the opportunity to put them up on OCW. And we see that that has actually paid off. Applications at the undergraduate level and at the graduate level have all increased over the past year.”

Dr. Michael Martinez, UCI Professor of Education
On his experience with OCW: “The value of OCW was really multiple. It gave my current students direct access to my lectures, including Power Point slides and interactive discussion. A second benefit is that OCW helped me consider the possibility of expanded future online offerings, whether courses or entire degree programs. OCW offers a venue for experimentation and so far I’m very pleased with the results.”

Charles Reynes, California Science Teacher and UCI OCW User
“I am a 2007 California Teacher of the Year and a recipient of the 2008 Presidential Award for excellence in Math and Science Teaching. In order to supplement my multiple subject credential, I decided to take the CSET Science tests. UCI’s OCW website was an invaluable study tool. I worked through every lesson and passed both exams on my first try. Anyone wishing to pass the CSET Exam would do well to work through this fabulous online program. ”
