MIT Opencourseware…Now for High School Students

Posted by in Uncategorized Nov 28th, 2007

As a pioneer in opencourseware, MIT has long offered no-cost learning materials online. Now, its new project, Highlights for High School, provides virtual material to the younger crowd. Here's what Highlights for High School gives secondary students:

"Highlights for High School is your guide to MIT courses selected specifically to help you prepare for AP exams, learn more about the skills and concepts you learned in school, and get a glimpse of what you'll soon study in college.

Need a break from studying? Check out videos of competitions at MIT like the Solar Decathlon. Ever see a bullet smash through a rose dipped in nitrogen? Check out the Strobe Project Laboratory. Studying for the Physics AP exam? Watch an MIT professor explain pendulums by swinging across his classroom."

Looks like a great way to tailor existing opencourseware content for a different set of people.
