We’re excited to launch our upgraded Search tool for the OCW website. As always, the search bar is in the upper right corner of the top menu. But there are many improvements under the hood.
For instance, start typing and you’ll now see “autocomplete” suggestions. If you like one of them, click it to go straight to the result.
Here’s the first few results for “games for learning.” Note that the results default to show entire courses that match the search string. You can also broaden the search to include all types of files plus entire courses, or filter results to just PDFs, or just assessment content (assignments + exams + projects).
If you’re an educator, use this search to find courses and teaching materials on a particular topic, and then click the Instructor Insights tab to learn more about how MIT instructors teach on this topic.
I am interested in know whether or not units of credit are earned for completion of courses, and if so, are the units transferable.
This is a frequently asked question! As we’ve written on the Get Started with OCW page:
There’s no signup, no enrollment, and no start or end dates. The entire OCW collection is always here for you. Freely browse and use it at your own pace.
Knowledge is your reward. We don’t offer credit or certificates for using OCW. Instead, use OCW to guide your own life-long learning, or use OCW to teach others.
Hi, in one of the real life story, i read that the boy started using OCW from the age of 5 yrs. Where do I find course material for a 5 year old? Thanks
I think you’re speaking of Ahaan Rungta, who started learning with OCW materials at age 5 and was admitted to MIT at age 15. Here’s his story.
