    some schools i know even have lecture videos up for students, in addition to lecture slides.

    sheesh, this is about the lamest thing i heard out of MIT:

    1. take existing content
    2. index it/add bells and/or whistles
    3. claim the whole world
    4. ???
    5. glory, fame and profit
