Have you thought about expanding your knowledge by taking some courses? There are several colleges
and other sites that offer free online courses, certificate programs, some degree programs, and education
resources for teachers and professors.
MIT OpenCourseWare
MIT OpenCourseWare offers free lecture notes, exams, and videos from classes at MIT.
OpenCourseWare (OCW) was proposed by the MIT faculty in 2000 and they have been publishing
educational materials from their courses freely and openly on the Internet since the first proof-of-concept
site in 2002, containing 50 courses. By November 2007, MIT had published almost the entire curriculum,
over 1,800 courses in 33 academic disciplines.
No registration is required to take advantage of these educational materials.
Annenberg Learner provides free multimedia resources to help teachers increase their expertise in their
fields and assist them in improving their teaching methods, thereby advancing excellent teaching in
American schools. The professional development of K-12 teachers is supported through the distribution of
educational video programs with coordinated Web and print materials.
