OpenCourseWare is great but I sort of feel like it's been so hyped over the years. Think about how long its been around, now look at how few courses have videos or any content worth mentioning at all. I could understand some of the other disciplines lagging behind in content but really it's the computer science stuff that is quite sparse. They have a big list but most of the courses just have some assignments without solutions or some lecture notes, which are available from most university web sites anyway.


I agree with you on that point. The nptel by iits and iiscs is much better than ocw. I say this because I have used both and found that the nptel videos cover the subject more broad while ocw courses lack in number as well as some in depth stuff.
