Hey all. I totally forgot to send this earlier, it's a project concerning a=
n OCW CD for distribution to countries/schools that have computers, but no =
internet access.
________________________________________
I'm looking for one or a few people to help with a volunteer project. The
project relates to international development & education, and it requires s=
ome
expertise in HTML and digital video. The idea is to downsample OpenCourseWa=
re
videos so that a course can be fit on a single standalone CD. The CDs will=
be
distributed to secondary schools and universities in developing countries,
where many of these institutions have computers but not an internet
connection.
If interested, contact Matt at landrema@mit.edu.
Cheers,
-Matt
