7 Increasing the Impact of Open Education
“It was much better than any other information I found on the Internet, since the other sites
were written by electronics experts who assumed that it would be read by other experts.
I didn't want to just copy the circuit without understanding it. MIT OpenCourseWare was different because it explained things step by step. Using the OpenCourseWare saved
us a lot of time and money.”
