What have those schools in common? Well, for one thing, they're all excellent schools, but more germanely to this thread, they all offer free lectures, literally thousands, via Open Academy, and in some instances, the lectures comprise the whole of a course. (MIT's largesse is particularly commendable.)
So, the thread questions are:
- Have you availed yourself of these institutions' free online offerings?
- If "yes," and without comparing the course quality, delivery mode, and other to one another or a live classroom experience:
- What did you like about the lectures/course you took?
- What did you dislike about them?
- To what extent did/do you avail yourself of them?
- Watched a video and/or read lecture notes "here and there" for a specific and/or "instantaneous" learning purpose.
- Watch a recurring lecture series.
- Took a course for a grade.
- Why did you take the lecture(s)/course(s)?
- If "no," why haven't you availed yourself of them?
