    Other Educational Resources
  • In 2002 MIT launched the OpenCourseWare (OCW) website: ocw.mit.edu. The basic concept was to make educational material freely available to the public. Since its inception many (over 200 or so) other universities have adopted the principles and created there own OCW projects. See the OpenCourseWare Consortium website.
  • Another website which offers free online video lectures is Academic Earth.
  • iTunes U, which is part of the iTunes Store is also another large collection of free educational media.
