Il concetto dell'open source portato nel campo dell'istruzione:

>MIT President Charles M. Vest said of the program: "MIT OpenCourseWare
>is a bold move that will change the way the Web is used in higher 
>education. With the content posted for all to use, it will provide
>an extraordinary resource, free of charge, which others can adapt to 
>their own needs. We see it as source material that will support 
>education worldwide, including innovations in the process of teaching
>and learning itself." 
>
>Professor Steven Lerman, chair of the MIT faculty, said that the 
>project stemmed both from enthusiasm for the opportunities that the 
>Internet affords for wide-spread sharing of educational ideas, and 
>from concern over the growing "privatization of knowledge."
>He noted that many universities, including MIT, see the Internet as
>a means of delivering revenue-generating distance education.
