"MIT said the aim of the project, MIT OpenCourseWare, was to freely share the prestigious university's knowledge. While the course materials would be free, there would be no credits or MIT degree.... The project expects to provide materials for more than 2,000 courses across MIT's entire curriculum -- in architecture and planning, engineering, humanities, arts, social sciences, management and science."
