Some of you may have heard about MIT's decision to make its course materials available for FREE online. Does it make sense? MIT maintains that information is NOT instruction, and that offering its courses online for free is actually beneficial for MIT...

Quote:
"The idea behind MIT OpenCourseWare (MIT OCW) is to make MIT course materials that are used in the teaching of almost all undergraduate and graduate subjects available on the Web, free of charge, to any user anywhere in the world."
