Hey WSO,
Do you ever wish you could get notes and problems to brush up on your Economics, Accounting, or Corporate Finance skills? Or do you need to learn more about Designing and Sustaining Technology Innovation for Global Health Practice for the upcoming biotech merger?
Well, thanks to MIT, all this is available online, for free.
Over the past ten years, MIT has put some 2100 courses online, through its commitment to the Open Courseware Constortium. The Open Courseware (OCW) consortium is a group of international universities who are placing the content of their courses online.
Lecture notes, PowerPoint slides, projects, practice problems, tests, and even online textbooks are available. Not every class has a complete array of material online, but most have lecture notes and practice problems. The best part of MIT’s OCW is the large number of graduate courses available. Have you ever wondered what an MBA course is like? Well, the syllabus, lectures, and assignments are waiting for you.
Every year MIT, and the other members of the OCW consortium, upload additional courses and content to their websites. This vault of information continues to grow, and is available to anyone with an internet connection.
Courses I’m Interested in:
- Game Theory for Managers
- Global Markets, National Politics, and the Competitive Advantage of Firms
- Business Analysis Using Financial Statements
Take a peak, do some reading, and educate yourself.
See you next week,
Jake

Thanks for posting this. Recently switched from Civil Engineering to Economics and needed to brush up on my macro.
wish they issued some kind of diploma/certificate
Coursera(Stanford, UMich, Princeton, Penn) issues certificates. I'm not sure how many courses they have yet.
links are broken
Fixed. Thanks for pointing this out. Something about copy/paste from MS word messed up the " " in the a href=.
Awesome! I will DEFINATELY look into to this! Thanks for the information!
If game theory interests you, there are 20+ lectures from Yale posted online:
And here's a course by Robert Shiller I watched.. kind of basic, but interesting nonetheless (he invites several notable guests to speak as well): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3aHciiVdvQ
Glad to see these top-tier schools and many others chose to share some of their courses with the world
MIT > Coursera. Way more courses. Can't wait to take a couple and compare to kahnacademy. Anyone know of any others?
*Khanacademy
Many lectures are also available on iTunes U.
The benefits of MIT's OCW and the OCW Consortium is that they place problem sets and even exams online. To quote a cliche,
You guys like case studies? Did some more digging through the MIT OCW, found MIT Sloan Teaching Innovation Resources.
Case Studies in the Following Areas:
