MIT puts entire curriculum at disposal of e-learners

Kim Thomas

The entire catalogue of information from 1,800 courses at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will be available free online by the end of the year. Once uploaded, it will represent one of the internet's most important resources.

By providing free access to course material such as lecture notes, assignment details, podcasts and videocasts, MIT's Open CourseWare programme will transform the

e-learning landscape.

MIT initiated the programme in 2001 and material from 1,550 MIT courses is already available.
