Re: Free online courses from MIT.edu

I was but one member of the team - but it's basically all MIT's
courses for free online. Pretty cool stuff - great for home schoolers,
inspired high schoolers, self learners etc. Only thing missing is a
lot of the readings. A HUGE component of the project was rights
management - in order to fully license everything under Creative
Commons, we had to severely limit the readings we could directly make
available and spent a lot of resources recreating photos and diagrams
from scratch.
