Fantastic news from the MIT.
BBC News | Technology:
The first group of [MIT] courses are set to be published on the internet on 30 September, including subjects like anthropology, biology, chemistry and computer science. ... Over the next 10 years, MIT will move all its existing coursework on to the internet. There will be no online degrees for sale.
