BBC: MIT launches ‘OpenCourseWare‘. “Over the next 10 years, MIT will move all its existing coursework on to the internet.” For free!
“MIT staff point out that if this initiative is successful, and other institutions follow, it will put the net back on track towards its original goal of sharing information and knowledge around the world, rather than selling CDs and t-shirts.”
OpenCourseWare is the greatest educational gift since the public library.
I’ve even put up a site to help prospective self learners choose a course, find the book, discuss the class with peers, and post course reviews. (geocities.com/mit4free)
