Right now I have an office at MIT, my wife and I are sort of snowbirds collocating between Cambridge in the summer and Florida in the rest of the year. I had lunch with one of the OCW people (among a bunch of friends of mine) and (of course) I inserted accessibility issues into the discussion. I hope to connect one of my projects or set of contacts (whether formal or just something I do for fun) with the OCW so some sort of partnership (once again, formal or not) might grow to create an open source and entirely accessible path to lifelong learning. I just bumble through life trying to contribute where I can and struggle with incredible anxiety when I can't <smile>.

I didn't know about the open courseware, and it's exactly what I need right now. I'm working on a project that's beyond my current level of knowledge, and they have exactly what I need. Wow! You're my hero!
