Charles Vest on OpenCourseWare and the Metauniversity

Posted on September 3, 2005 by david

Enjoyed listening to Chuck Vest talk (mp3) about where education and open education are heading. Vest was the president of MIT when it conceived of and launched MIT OpenCourseWare.

I am 81 years old, a retired engineer. I have just discovered MIT OpernCourseWare and decided to go for a math coourse.
I took several undergrad math courses (differential equations) at WVU in the late forties from Dr. Louis Vest, father of Charles Vest. Louis Vest was an excellent teacher and I can visualize him now in his vest and long sleeved white shirt at the blackboard giving a chalk talk. He was a very inspiring teacher.
