MIT Free OpenCourseWare

MIT OCW

http://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm

MIT is often credited with having inspired the whole open courseware movement! The university has been publishing their course materials online for years now. These are not MOOCs, this is all of MIT's course content organized by course. You're responsible for buying any class textbooks if there isn't an online version. The content is easy to maneuver and a syllabus is supplied for each class. There are over 2,200 courses available on the site. MIT OCW recently launched an initiative aimed at high school students. This sister site highlights the best OCW content for high school students looking to get an edge on exams or just explore an academic interest.
