MIT's Open Courseware

A cool site was brought to my attention a few days ago.

http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/index.htm

It's at MIT and basically gives you online access to several of their classes. You can download the syllabi, list of readings and assignments, and pretty much everything but access to the faculty or credit...it's FREE ya know.

I have been out of college for many years , and have thought about going back for additional study. One of the things that has prevented me from doing so is the indecision on what to study. Something like this MIT site is cool because you can go in and sample different disciplines at no cost to you except your time. I may check this out in the near future; if not as a prelude to return to the academic world then for personal enrichment.
