I'm impressed. Even if it is just great technical information, and not good on-line instruction, is will be very beneficial. Developing good on-line courses is not easy -- I've been the subject matter expert and course lead on a "simple" 6-hour course on one aspect of public policy. And this effort has taken over a year.

I look forward to seeing an MIT on-line course.
