In the context of curriculum delivery, data can range from the course outline to detailed course notes for the benefit of the learner, which in turn is referred to as courseware. When this content is open to the public, it is often referred to as open courseware which in this study is framed as open data in courseware. Properly harnessed, open courseware which is necessary for e-learning, can be a driver for sustainable development. This study investigated the quantity and quality of open data in the online courseware of universities in Nigeria. The courseware of 30 universities in Nigeria were examined through qualitative content analysis of their websites. The major finding of the study is that only two universities (7%) have comprehensive courseware available on the Internet - National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) and the University of Ilorin. However, 27% of the sampled universities published the course codes for their programmes online while 23% had course titles and 13% had course contents, published. The results were at variance with the established variations in education indicators across the country suggesting the positive role played by ICTs such as the Internet in bridging developmental divides. The quality of the open courseware of the two universities are examined and weaknesses such as inappropriate license for open courseware and limitations to reusability and remixing are identified.
