Open
Course Ware (OCW) project is an online
resource which allows anyone with an internet connection to
experience course work at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. That's right, you
can essentially "take courses at MIT" for free. And they have
over
1,800 courses to choose from. Of course you can't actually
receive credit for taking any of these free online courses, but you
can get an amazing understanding of what educators and students do
at MIT. OCW at MIT is also
part of a much larger
Open Courseware Consortium which has over 50 participating
universities world-wide. You can view a current list of
consortium members here and learn more about the consortium on
their FAQ Page.
