I wish people would stop calling this stuff "courseware"; it's not courseware. It's lectures on video, that's all. Courseware is a term invented in the late 60s to describe computer-based educational or training lessons, simulations, programs, tutorials, quizzes, tests, and games that when taken and mastered by a student, qualify for course credit. It's not about sitting and watching a prof give a lecture.

What are talking about? Video lectures accompany only few of the published courses. Much more often, it is lecture notes, homeworks, reference cites, old exams, and solutions. Everything to "run" a course. There is no better generic term for it than courseware.
