MIT’s OpenCourseWare Initiative Officially Launches, Complete Access Materials for 500 Classes
From the article, “One year after the launch of its pilot program, MIT on Monday night quietly published everything from class syllabuses to lecture videos for 500 courses through its OpenCourseWare initiative, an ambitious project it hopes will spark a Web-based revolution in the way universities share information…The institute doesn’t expect to publish materials for its full complement of classes until 2007, when it expects to have between 1,800 and 2,000 offerings. In addition to a syllabus, lecture notes and course videos, institute faculty have published problem sets, past exams and completed student projects. The readings list available for each course could be extremely useful to the researcher. Early word of the OCW project was posted on ResourceShelf in April, 2001. An advanced search page allows content to be limited to 5 fields (Title, Description, Author/Contributor, Keywords) or by course section (e.g. Syllabus, Lecture Notes, Readings, etc.)
