I had known about MIT OpenCourseWare for more than 3 years now. And I always go there to find out about the area that I am researching/learning about to see what the world's premier institution is teaching in that area. I also find the reading list quite interesting as it takes me to good books in a given area. For instance I have been reading this book called "The Goal" by Eliyahu M. Goldratt and Jeff Cox, which I later found was a recommended text book in one of the management courses in the Sloan school of management. The reading list for that course took me to more interesting books in that area. And now I am actually following the "Supply Chain Management" course by reading the books that are recommended in the reading list there. Of course, its not the real Sloan experience, but atleast it gives a good idea and some direction on what kind of stuff is actually covered there!
Thanks for bringing it up!
