OpenCourseWare Grows Beyond MIT!
----------------------------------------------------------------
A simple idea that began at MIT about five years ago has bloomed into an
international OCW movement - to advance education and empower people
worldwide. At the OpenCourseWare Consortium ( http://www.ocwconsortium.org),
you'll find more than 150 members who provide more than 4,000 free online
courses. Learn more about these members and their opencoursewares.

Not the Pleasure kinds -Yachts/Canoes/hydrofoils.
We need massive ones to first-time-ever dig and straighten a 2m x100m
guaranteed deep 365x24 hr.bargeway from Pasighat to Sea, Walong to Sea,Bhutan
to sea, to enable plying 4 rows of 1000 ton barge trains to/from our Export
/Import Floating Dock system at leased Bangladesh safewaters or at Continental
Shelf.
Doubt if MIT offers these.
Russia, Netherlands do.

4. Views from Visitors - How You Can Help
----------------------------------------------------------------
"I have completed my studies with Masters of Science
in Applied Genetics from Bangalore University. I
wanted to learn more about the field of Biology
but the hurdle is there is no good library in Nepal
and as well as there is dearth of University which
teaches this subject in Nepal. With MIT OCW I am
able to learn about mathematics and computational
biology..." - Student, Nepal
We love hearing from people around the world who use MIT OCW materials to
improve their lives or share what they learn to help others. We need your
help to continue providing these benefits! MIT OCW will always be a free and
open digital publication, but your donation (small or large) helps us
continue to offer a high-quality publication of MIT's course materials.
Your gift of $50, $100, $500 or whatever amount is right for you will enable
us to continue to innovate and keep MIT OCW up to date. Thank you!

Know your geography: Which five African countries border the Mediterranean
Sea? Extra credit if you can name all Middle East states, capital cities,
rivers/seas, and population on this same map.
See the final exam map quiz in MIT's History course: Islam, the Middle East,
and the West, Fall 2006.
