A growing number of Ivy League and other colleges and universities are posting a selection of their courses online for all to use. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology seems to have started the trend back in 2003 and now have on offer materials for more than 1500 courses. The MIT courses can be found at MITOpenCourseWare. Ditto for Stanford and UC Berkeley. And even that poseur, Yale, will have a selection of undergraduate lectures available in the fall. No degree for now, but that may change in the future.
Other educational institutions that offer similar distance learning courses include Carnegie Mellon, Utah State, Tufts and Johns Hopkins.

I’d love to sign up for these classes and tell people I’m studying at Harvard. I wouldn’t mention the online part ’cause I’m shameless.
