The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have decided to make

all
their
course materials available to the public. They formed a committee to

decide how
to distribute it, either as a package, to sell it by course, or by other

means.

One member had a brilliant suggestion: "Let's give it away."

You can read and download the entire program of almost every single

course
available in their curriculum, all for free. You won't receive course

credit
for reading or using it, but you can effectively obtain an education

from
one
the world's foremost science and technology universities for free.

Especially of note to USW are the courses on Earth, atmospheric, and

planetary
sciences.

This is what the internet should be about, the corpus of human wisdom

available
free to all - Met Office take note (although they are on the right

track).

My thanks to Bob Dog of the newsgroup alt.atheism for bringing this to

my
attention.
