MIT OpenCourseWare
We have posted about this resource before, but it’s worth revisiting. MIT OpenCourseware shares materials from 2,400 courses taught at MIT. Courses include both undergraduate and graduate levels in all subjects taught at MIT. Many courses include a syllabus, reading material, assignments, and in some cases audio or video lectures, even online textbooks and supplemental material.

How do faculty incorporate active learning into the classroom? How do they approach diversity and inclusion? Looking for new ways to engage learners? Use MIT OpenCourseware’s Instructor Insights “to discover how MIT instructors teach with these materials on campus, and freely select and adapt their explanations, examples, and simulations to help concepts come to life in your own classroom.”
