OCW membership

The OCW membership page linked from the introduction was blank so I removed the link. Is SCN still an OCW member? Joja lozzo 04:13, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This Organization Appears To Be Defunct

The main link for this organization is dead at present, June 8, 2013. A brief survey of information available on the Internet reveals little evidence that an institution of any depth ever existed. Some search results on Youtube have the character of elevator pitches. Evidence of a current relationship with the OpenCourseWare Consortium is also lacking. Students Circle Network is not listed as a Consortium member. Apparently, Students Circle Network did once offer a number of classes through the Consortium, but many, and probably all, of the links are dead. Some puff pieces about the founder, Gospel Ukanwoke, suggest that he mounted an effort to give the impression that Students Circle Network, the home-grown brainchild of an IT student, was a resounding success with users numbering in the tens of thousands. I found no concrete evidence of extensive usership. The organization's claim to be a vital gateway to OpenCourseWare materials seems dubious. Possibly this organization was a legitimate effort, but described in exaggerated terms. In any event, it appears no longer to be in operation. Probably this page should be taken down.Thomasbhiggins (talk) 16:49, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
