LOL this is funny, last week I saw this and I was going to say something but then I thought bah GFY isn't the forum for this educational shit
what I was going to post is that MIT was doing this, check this shit out its INSANE!

This is OpenCourseWare from MIT. You can go there and see 1800 courses and download FULL lecture notes, assignments with solutions, exams with solutions, tests and all of that, as well as watch the actual video of the lecture happening.
Insane! 100% free, no registration or anything, so that means that even the most isolated person living in the most third world country if taught to write and read and use a computer can pretty much do ANYTHING from there, including getting the same education that some guy 2000 miles away is paying $20k a year for!
Of course you don't get the actual certification or to work with people/professors but you do learn and you get the knowledge.
I think this is the greatest thing ever!!
