MIT OpenCourseWare

MIT OpenCourseWare publishes materials from a broad range of MIT courses for anyone to study online. The site includes lecture notes, exams, videos, course readings, and teaching resources across undergraduate, graduate, and non-credit subjects.

Why it stands out

Publishes materials from MIT courses rather than standalone lesson summaries.
Covers many disciplines, from engineering and science to humanities, arts, and medicine.
No account, application, or enrollment step is required to access materials.
Useful for both independent study and instructors looking for open teaching materials.

Good to know

It provides course materials, not enrollment in an active MIT class with instructor feedback.
Using OCW does not grant MIT credit, grades, or a credential.
The available media and resources can vary from course to course.

Under the radar: If you are building a syllabus or lesson plan, start with the educator-focused entry point instead of general search; it surfaces materials in a teaching context rather than only as student study pages.
