Professors at MIT have decided to teach physics in Thailand, organic chemistry in Azerbaijan, and modern poetry in Bangladesh–and that's just for starters. As part of the university's OpenCourseWare (OCW) initiative, MIT wants to make every one of its 1,800 courses available for free to anyone in the world with an Internet connection by 2007. There are already more than 1,100 MIT courses online (ocw.mit.edu), which can be used by anybody for nonprofit purposes who agrees to properly cite the original author.
