Open Courseware at MIT
Everything written in-print about MIT undergraduate courses except a free and open-content digital copy of the copyrighted textbooks required for the courses. Increasing some recordings of lectures may also be available online. (See also U.C. Berkeley's available online lectures.) MIT started their "Open Coursware" project in 2000 with the goal of making all MIT undergraduate course syllabae and course supplementary materials available online by 2005 -- minus the actual course textbooks. They achieved their 2005 goal. It remains to be seen and evaluated what "educational values" MIT's and any other "open content" projects have for educators, schools, and universities and for their respective students, outside the educational institutions which web publish and make freely available their possibly idiosyncratic open course content.

Open Content for Higher Education at Univ. of South Florida
In an article in "Campus Technology" dated 10.07.08, the University of South Florida (USF) Mechanical Engineering (ME) department declared that it has been 'pioneering' the web publication of open ME educational content since the mid 1990s. The ME department uses the open content for ME undergraduate education at the college undergraduate. This article superficially points out their funding problems, their use of a loose consortium of ME departments at four other US universities to produce the open content, and faculty resistance to the creation of open content. But also the USF ME spokesperson points out the untested, and apparently as yet unchallenged nor more deeply examined, claim of the "consistently great popularity" of their open content among the USF ME students.

Curriki: Free Online Textbooks
The Curriki.org web site offers free textbooks online for USA grades K-12. The service was founded in 2004 by Scott McNealy, co-founder and CEO of SUN Microsystems, an important top-5 company in the mid-ranger computer server and software business. SUN has been owned since 2010 by Oracle, a top database software company. Perhaps McNealy, like Bill Gates who founded Microsoft, gets to do charitable work from now on.

The Open Library Project
The Open Library non-profit project is an off-shoot, a spin-off, a 'child project' of the decades-old "Internet Archive" project. The Open Library Project was started in 2005. As of June 2010 there are one million digital books primarily available for free to the "print (reading) disabled" on their web site. (As audio books???) Two million digital texts are free to access for the general public. Search also for "Internet Archive" on this web site or go to www.archive.org" for more information about the parent Internet Archive project.
