Hi,
My wife and I have been following the Well Trained Mind for a couple of years now with our eldest (he's 7), but this is my first time on the forum. Has anyone else had any experience with MIT's OpenCourseWare program? (I know, I'm thinking way ahead...). Some of the courses are not much more than outlines, but others contain videos of the actual lectures as well as reading lists and assignments. I've looked at their 1st year physics and linear algebra courses and can say without hesitation that these are the best lectures on the subject ever made. The material is well within the capabilities of a bright and motivated home-schooled student. Here's the link, I'd be interested to hear what anyone else thinks about them (completely free by the way):
