This seems like it will be a good complement to MIT Open CourseWare. We are only a few years away hopefully from fully open-source cyber Universities where only grading, discussion section, and question taking are services for which money would need to be charged.

An ambitious Angolan youth in the backwoods, for example, should within a generation be able to reap in large part the classroom benefits of an elitist Western education.
