      ab: The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) believes that the Internet can offer higher education to students in developing nations. The number of people seeking higher education worldwide has soared in recent years, increasing from 13 million in 1960 to 65 million in 1991. Although the developing world is also experiencing this trend, demand is rising faster than universities can be built to accommodate it. Believing that the Internet can help solve this problem, MIT launched its OpenCourseWare (ocw) pilot program online in September 2002 at ocw.mit.edu. Modeled on open-source computer programs, the site will eventually post all of MIT's course content online—including class notes, syllabi, and exams—but will not confer degrees.
