Abstract

The syllabus he uses, the projects and readings he assigns, the lectures he presents, all are modeled at least in part on their MIT course, Software Engineering for Internet Applications. Lecture notes, reading lists, quizzes, answers, assignments, syllabuses, slides, and a limited number of textbooks and videotaped lectures are freely offered to faculty, students, and anyone with a sense of curiosity anywhere in the world. MIT found itself lagging behind other elite colleges like Harvard and Princeton that had lined up deals with venture capitalists and Internet start-ups.
