Studing in MIT at home

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, ofers a website full of didatic resoursers used in its varies courses. Thus Internet user who likes self-learning new stuff or who wants to complement their knowledge in their specific area can take advantage of the content of all MIT's courses.

That website is a project called Open Course Ware, OCW. It's possible there to navigate along many courses given by MIT, organized by area in the college, for example: economics, architecture, eletrical engineering, computation, biology, philosophy and so on.

Each course corresponds to an academic discipline. In the main page of each course are shown a description of the course it self, the literal resourses, the class notes, the slides used in each class and the exercices, amongst other resourses.

Note that the language there is English. But as the OCW's goal is to take knoledge to all the places in the world, this institute has made partnerships in some countries. There is a brazillian version with a big part of OpenSourse's content translated. This version is hosted inside Universia domain, a site dedicadede to a graduating and under-graduating public.
