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.
