MIT begins creating web sites for 2,000 courses

Creating web pages for all their courses is MIT’s first step in their Open Courseware Project designed to put all their class materials online so anyone can look at them. Right now they’re piloting and refining the process. Web skills of MIT professors vary widely--some use the Web extensively, some don’t use it at all. One of the challenges will be designing an interface that’s useful and that will be used by as large a group as possible.
