Kudos to MIT

Today the New York Times reported that MIT. is expanding its online course offerings to include actual course credit. I hope that more universties, especially the flagship state universities, follow MIT's lead.

Sharing course materials make sense for many reasons. They're a great reference for graduates who want to keep their skills current. They're also an asset for anyone else who may not have the time or money to enroll in a four-year degree program.

Stanford's Computer Science Department is another leader. Their course materials are a fabulous resource to anyone getting started in computer programming.
