Learning from MIT
the wonderful librarian from MER sent this out to the dept and it may be of use to BBIM staff revising course descriptions:
MIT puts entire curriculum at disposal of e-learners:
"The entire catalogue of information from 1,800 courses at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will be available free online by the end of the year. Once uploaded, it will represent one of the internet’s most important resources."

Control C, Control V?
I think MIT has initated OCW (http://ocw.mit.edu/) in 2002, giving out course material (including lecture slides and assignment etc) for free to everybody. But the notion that they are going to open up ALL courses would be pretty huge!
I d/l their material and occasionally use them in my courses as well, of course I have read their copyright statement carefully and they allow any type of usage of their material for educational purposes.
