I remember watching MIT lectures in OpenCourseWare back in 2007, before I started at university. What an amazing resource it was at the time.

I did the same thing, at the same time! I'm pretty self-directed when it comes to learning, so access to the raw materials of a course was great and sufficient. Never missed interactivity. I tried Coursera years later, it was much more like enrolling in a real class virtually.

But yeah, great to see OCW still going strong. It's pretty remarkable no administrator has tried to mess with it -- although I wouldn't know if they had.
