Санкт-Петербургский Государственный Университет Культуры и Искусств. The World’s 50 Best Open Courseware Collections. Do you ever wonder why the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) might be more memorable than other technological schools? To become memorable, a school must reach out to people in ways that seem beneficial. Alumni organizations can help spread the word about their alma mater.
Great sports teams and debate teams also can help boost a school’s standing. But, another fork to take in the marketing path is through the Internet, as MIT and other schools have done in sharing courses online and without charge. MIT and other schools are up front about these open source offerings – no one can earn credits from taking the courses, nor can they use the courses to claim a degree. That said, the following list represents a handful of hundreds of open courseware initiatives that now exist.
The list is divided into categories and each link is listed in alphabetical order within those categories. SCCTP Workshop Descriptions.
