Congratulations to MIT, the first school in the world to offer engineering courses online - And BOY did they outdo themselves !!! Check out the OpenCourseWare, the educational parallel to Open Source software...

- course outlines
- lecture materials
- lecture videos
- exam materials
- problem sets & solutions


By yr.2007 they plan to have ~2000 courses available online to anyone and everyone!!!

(excited! super excited!)

I read about this in New Scientist ages ago. A damn good idea. Thanks for the link.

I checked out their introductory biology course... they have everything online:

- course outlines
- labs
- practice questions & solutions
- exam questions & solutions
- calendars
- even a biology hypertextbook (what appears to be an entire textbook online)



They haven't filled out all the courses yet, just a few samples in each program, but if all goes according to the schedule this will all happen in the next 4 years with around 2000 courses available.

Still, I can't access scientific publications online, just abstracts. Libraries across America are filled to overflow with volumes of journal articles, and only abstracts are available. It's a stumbling block to independent research readers like me.

Sweet stuff...

Philosophy, here I come!... if I exist :D :eek: ;)

a brand new world fellas!

:)

Awesome!:D

I could get a networking degree from them and then do graphic interfaces!

this is AMAZING:cool:
