Today at work I was searching the wonderful world of Google for some helpful resources for my job-seeking clients. I happened upon an awesome educational resource from MIT called MIT OpenCourseWare. The site is a collaboration of MIT professors' course materials - everything from syllabi, course reading materials, lecture notes, study guides, and assignments. The site is intended to be a free and open educational resource. As of June 2005, there were over 1,100 MIT courses published in a variety of topics - Everything from chemical engineering to women's studies to history. The site is truly a unique collection of course material and allows anyone with internet access to participate in FREE, online MIT education. The only downfall of the program is that it does not offer access to the instructors of the MIT courses. But heck, it's free, I'm not complaining!
As stated by MIT's President, Susan Hockfield:
"OpenCourseWare expresses in an immediate and far-reaching way MIT's goal of advancing education around the world. Through MIT OCW, educators and students everywhere can benefit from the academic activities of our faculty and join a global learning community in which knowledge and ideas are shared openly and freely for the benefit of all."
Here it is, http://ocw.mit.edu/index.html, be sure to check it out!
