MIT OpenCourseWare

The MIT OpenCourseWare website is a free publication of course materials used at the world renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This website provides Lecturers with an opportunity to explore how their courses are taught at MIT and enhance their courses with the resources available on the site including:

• Syllabi, reading lists, study materials, discussion questions, in-class activities
• Lecture notes, problem sets, labs and more.
• Lecture videos and demonstrations.

UWI Lecturers or Students can also use the website for self-study on a wide variety of subjects. New courses on the website include:

• 12.491 Biogeochemistry of Sulfur
• 21H.914 Jewish History from Biblical to Modern Times
• 21M.775 Hip Hop
• SP.401 Introduction to Women's and Gender Studies
  

There are three requirements Lecturers or Students using materials must meet in order to use the materials:

1. Non-commercial: Use of MIT OpenCourseWare materials is open to all except for profit-making entities who charge a fee for access to educational materials.
2. Attribution: Any and all use or reuse of the material, including use of derivative works (new materials that incorporate or draw on the original materials), must be attributed to MIT and, if a faculty member's name is associated with the material, to that person as well.
3. Share alike (aka "copyleft"): Any publication or distribution of original or derivative works, including production of electronic or printed class materials or placement of materials on a Web site, must offer the works freely and openly to others under the same terms that MIT OpenCourseWare first made the works available to the user.
