Yale, MIT, and other universities have started offering free and open access to online courses taught by faculty members.
Open Yale courses and
MIT Open Courseware both try to expand the reach of educational materials by reducing barriers to quality information. Although the course information is accessible through these websites, the material is also accessible through
iTunes U, another platform for gaining access to quality educational materials.
There's no denying that we have access to great minds and great course here at Virginia Tech; however, the open courses at Yale and MIT offer a broad range of courses (from art history to technology in healthcare) that may include some we don't have here at VT. Check them out for some fun weekend learning!
