Free Educational Course Material from MIT Courses!

MIT has an OpenCourseWare – through which it publishes course materials from the courses that its students undertake at the University. (Tip from: Arul)

Pretty Cool! It does not require any registration and is free of charge! It however does not confer any degree to you just because you have read through them! So use it for your self development! Here is the official word on what this OpenCourseWare is:

MIT OCW is a large-scale, Web-based electronic publishing initiative funded jointly by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation , MIT, and generous support of the Ab Initio software company.

MIT OCW’s goals are to:

* Provide free, searchable, access to MIT’s course materials for educators, students, and self-learners around the world.
* Extend the reach and impact of MIT OCW and the “opencourseware” concept.

MIT OCW would not be possible without the support and generosity of the MIT faculty who choose to share their research, pedagogy, and knowledge to benefit others. We expect MIT OCW to reach a steady – though never static – state by 2008. Between now and then, we will publish the materials from virtually all of MIT’s undergraduate and graduate courses.
