I can't guarantee you a free MIT degree, but I can guarantee that you'll enjoy 100's of lectures and lessons from MIT's OpenCourseWare Program. Developed by MIT faculty in 2001, OpenCourseWare allows any visitor to the website to watch lectures and download course materials just as MIT students would. It would be as if we launched our Blackboard Server for all the world to view all courses.
MIT and their faculty are "paying it forward". In just 6 short years they have amassed a library of over 1800 courses in 33 disciplines- the entire MIT curriculum.
Some courses have audio and video (Computer System Engineering), some syllabus and reading assignments (Godzilla and the Bullet Train: Technology and Culture in Modern Japan).
As a faculty member, I would be very interested in who ones the intellectual property of the courses. Their FAQ states that faculty retain ownership of most materials prepared for MIT OpenCourseWare.
Anyway, in case you are bored tonight, take some classes MIT. You'll feel like a college kid all over again!
