Free Lectures/Seminars About the MIT move to make course materials for 1800 courses available online for free . . . Intellectual Philanthropy “ OpenCourseWare (OCW) provides free access to course materials such as syllabi, video or audio lectures, notes, homework assignments, illustrations, and so on. So far, by giving away their content, the universities aren't discouraging students from enrolling as students. Instead, the online materials appear to be only whetting appetites for more.” Gregory M. Lamb, The Christian Science Monitor

Free Lectures/Seminars "We believe strongly that education can be best advanced when knowledge is shared openly and freely," says Anne Margulies, executive director of the OCW program at MIT. "MIT is using the power of the Internet to give away all of the educational materials created here."
