study at MIT for free
Friday, 13 April 2007
For everyone who wished they could go to MIT but didn’t have the money or just weren’t smart enough, now MIT can come to you via the web. MIT has available a large selection of lectures which they have taped and posted to the web for anyone to enjoy. The subject listings are extensive, so anyone is sure to find something of interest. It is subdivided by the class, having the syllabus, reading lists, and sample papers from students in addition to the taped lectures. The few classes that I looked at didn’t have all the lectures available for viewing, the website says they have “25 full video courses and over 1,000 hours of video available.”
Apparently there focus is for educators–giving syllabus, reading list, and even lecture notes–but they are welcoming to “self-learners” as well.
It seems pretty interesting, hopefully I’ll make use of it sometime.
