I attended MIT a long time ago (before the web), and I took 24.00 and remember it fondly. Of course, the content changes with each teacher. I spent a good deal of time looking through that course site on OCW.

Certain subjects will have more appeal than others to the general audience on the Internet. I enjoy reading about philosophy on the net, and I suspect a lot of other people do. It's more approachable and more relevant to my life today than some of those science courses (although I find pretty much any course interesting.)

Plus you can probably get more out of philosophy lecture notes than you can out of some of those courses. I mean, Hands-On Astronomy? Don't you need a telescope for that? And Laboratory in Software Engineering? Sounds like something that would be difficult to get relate over the web. However, I am interested to see what they will be able to do with OCW.
