Attend M.I.T. For Free on the Internet

Here's something for everyone to be excited about. I see this as a general trend that has begun over the past 5 years with open-source software and the rise of Wikipedia. I'm looking forward to working on my electrical engineering skills via the M.I.T. coursework.

By the end of this year, the contents of all 1,800 courses taught at one of the world's most prestigious universities will be available online to anyone in the world, anywhere in the world. Learners won't have to register for the classes, and everyone is accepted.

The cost? It's all free of charge.

The OpenCourseWare movement, begun at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 2002 and now spread to some 120 other universities worldwide, aims to disperse knowledge far beyond the ivy-clad walls of elite campuses to anyone who has an Internet connection and a desire to learn.
