The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has created a wonderful opportunity for all with the web-based publication of virtually all it’s course content. I heard about OCW a while back but I am still amazed at the Institute’s progressive thinking with this initiative. Three Cheers to MIT! ;-) Now the rest is up to you. I’ve attached one course of interest to this blog but there are many. Check OCW out at the links provided below. lb

Course Description
This seminar explores approaches to representation for distributed cinematic storytelling. The relationship between story creation and story appreciation is analyzed. Readings are drawn from literary and cinematic criticism, as well as from descriptions of interactive, distributed works. Students analyze a range of storytelling techniques; they develop a proposal using visualization techniques; and they prototype a working story experience, culminating in a final project displayed at the end of the semester.
