More on MIT OpenCourseWare

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the no-spitballs dept.

lewiz writes "Over at BBC News they have an update on the MIT initiative to give away all course material for free over the Internet that we read about on Slashdot quite a while ago. The full story details how they are doing it in the hopes that other Universities will follow suit. This seems an amazing thing considering the more recent moves toward pay-per-use services but definitely a good thing and I wish them the best of luck. The only question I see is whether or not this will help in the way of "official qualifications" - what if we know a large portion of a certain course... how do we go about proving it?"

    MIT, Schmem-eye-tee. Too many pointy-headed effete Macintosh homosexuals running around there. This free course stuff will never fly for just that reason.
