EETimes.com – MIT to put its entire curriculum online free of charge

In 2002, when MIT decided to experiment with placing course contents on the Web for open access, the university’s officials knew they were breaking new ground and had no idea how the effort would be received.On Tuesday, school officials revealed plans to make available the university’s entire 1,800-course curriculum by year’s end. Currently, some 1.5 million online independent learners log on the MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) site every month and more than 120 universities around the world have inaugurated their own sites for independent learners. MIT has more than 1,500 course curriculums available online to date.

All I have to say is WOW…
