Hi all,
Thought some may be interested in this:
>MIT is planning to make most of its
course materials (lectures, outlines, reading lists) available on the
web in the next few years.
See the MIT News page for details:
http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/nr/2001/ocw.html
<
To me this is quite an exciting development. Whilst arguably most
information is widely available to everyone the particular presentation of
that information which is unique to the education system of which it forms a
part is not something that has been freely available in the past.
What will be interesting now is to see which institutions follow MIT's lead.
Certainly I would like to see more opening up of arts education in this way,
particularly programs in art history that could usefully direct one's own
reading.
cheers,
Sol.
