It's hard to belive but it is true. Top universities like MIT, Stanford, Nortre Dame and Yale are offering a growing number of courses free online, posting everything from lecture notes to sample tests and even making audio and video files of actual lectures available.
Many of the schools that offer free online coursework are supported through coursework are supported through grants from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, which says it hopes to promote "Open educational resources." Hewlett so far has given over $68 million to universities and non-profits to post free online materials.
I was just so inspired by the information and what a great way to give away wealth.
