One voter said it best: 'It's amazing that FGV Online makes studying with
people all around the world so easy.'
FGV Online is a Portugese-language OpenCourseWare site. Though most of
Education-Portal.com's readers are English speakers, we decided to nominate FGV
for its contributions to the OCW cause. Its users clearly think it's pretty
great, considering how many of them turned out to vote!
FGV stands for Fundação Getulio Vargas, which translates to the Getulio
Vargas Foundation. It is the largest non-government distance education provider
in Brazil, with 98,000 students as of 2010. The online OCW program began in
2008, and since then, their main page has received more than 7 million unique
visitors, while more than 1,300,000 users have completed courses.
Those users are generally pretty pleased with FGV's approach to OCW delivery,
with more than 99% reporting that they'd recommend that friends use the online
service. And even though FGV is in Portuguese, its users come from all across
the globe, including countries like the USA and Germany. FGV Online takes an
innovative approach to OCW, with an ultimate goal of creating social change by
reaching the maximum number of students.
