[LINK] MIT Online Course Pilot

[Stephen Loosley]

Hi all ..

Beginning yesterday, MIT will make all of their courses
available online, and is offering free public access. Here
are the pilot courses available thus far ...

  (http://ocw.mit.edu/global/all-courses.html)

"With the opening of the pilot site of MIT OpenCourseWare
on Monday, Sept. 30, the ambitious initiative took the first step
toward fulfilling the lofty expectations it prompted when it was
announced on Sep 30th, 2000." (http://web.mit.edu/news.html)

"We hope the idea of openly sharing course materials will propagate
throughout many institutions and create a global web of knowledge
that will enhance the quality of learning and, therefore, the quality
of life worldwide. We are opening our pilot to the public for review
and feedback.

It contains a sample of MIT courses, offering an early look at the
content and design of OCW. As we pursue our intensive work to
find the most effective way to make OCW a valuable resource for
all who use it, we will continue to add courses, until virtually all are
available."
