MIT PUBLISHES 200 NEW COURSES ON OPENCOURSEWARE

200 new courses bring total to 700, including richer, deeper course 
content and more video

CAMBRIDGE, MA (April 1, 2004) - MIT announced today that the 
OpenCourseWare initiative has published 200 new courses to bring to 
701 the total number of courses available at 
<http://ocw.mit.edu>http://ocw.mit.edu. Following the publication of 
500 courses last fall, this is MIT OCW's second major milestone on 
the way to publishing virtually all of MIT's courses by the year 2008.

First announced in April 2001, the MIT OCW proof-of-concept pilot 
site opened to the public in September 2002, offering 32 courses. The 
official launch of MIT OCW with 500 MIT courses came in September 
2003. Truly a global initiative, the site has received visitors from 
more than 215 countries, territories, and city-states around the 
globe - including every member of the United Nations - over the 
course of the last 18 months. Materials have already been translated 
into at least 10 different languages.

We are pleased to highlight the course materials from 50 of those new 
MIT course offerings, including:
