Happy 2007 - and it should be!

Hello you stalwart readers of my blog (I know who most of you are...). Happy 2007!

I came across an article today about how to attend MIT (and many other large universities) for free. It involves twoOpen Courseware websites:

the MIT site (ocw.mit.edu)

the OCW consortium (ocwconsortium.org)

Both places you can just sign up for classes. Only 26 have video lectures available, but many more have materials, coursework, podcasts and other items for you to take classes on everything from atomic physics to wildlife medicine. These two sites are being generously supported by private donations and hopefully they will continue into the future as we become more and more a global society. Exchanging what we know is the most valuable resource!
