The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is a private research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Founded in 1861 in response to the increasing industrialization of the United States, the current 168-acre (68.0 ha) campus opened in 1916 and extends over 1 mile (1.6 km) along the northern bank of the Charles River basin.

Will it not be a dream for every passionate student to be part of MIT? But only the lucky few get into the Great walls of the MIT campus. However in the year 2001, something great happened - MIT decided to share the courses and it's content online and to free for all. This 4th April 2001 article of Newyork times has announced the starting of a new era of free sharing - the emergnce of MIT OpenCourseWare.

Utah opencourseware is not as exahustive as MIT open courseware, but have some very useful courses available. FOr example physics course available on quantum mechanics is very good . Courses available are very few.:sad:

Good collection of useful free courses. But the catch is courses available are very few.

This site has an exhausive list of available universities which are offering free courses on their sites. Most of the universities provide very few courses. But some of them like MIT have very good number of courses. One can find many courses of general , specific intrests may be for some project works, paper presentations etc.
