"It's truly remarkable to see MIT OpenCourseWare listed beside these other well-known sites," says Professor Shigeru Miyagawa, chair of OCW's Faculty Advisory Committee. "It really speaks to the impact the site is having not only on the individuals who use it, but on the culture of the Web as a whole.
