The decision by the MIT faculty in 2001 to allow anyone to use their course content was a groundbreaking move, one that has opened education profoundly. Since then, an estimated 100 million individuals have accessed MIT's resources.

I was very excited to try mit's open courseware. I wanted to take a course on aspergers and computers, but to my great disappointment found most of the information closed to the public. I think this is unusual. I hope they reconsider and open up some of the course links and information.
Thanks
