I hope to somehow use their open source video course infrastructure at the university that I work for.
MIT is being a leader for all universities in this field. And it's not like they are 'giving away the milk for free'; because the most valuable part of MIT, besides the diploma, are the people sitting next to you in class. Networking is king, and where better than to network at MIT?
This is seriously one of the coolest things I've heard about in a while.
(I wonder how much "mastery" in some of these classes could play into applying to the school, proper?)
MIT is one of my favorite things, period.
