M.I.T. has released CADDIE.net software for free downloading. Created by the Intelligent Engineering Systems Laboratory (IESL), using Microsoft Web technology to enhance education processes – for professors, students and administrators, it is described at the illustrative site CADDIE.NET Team Server Portal:
"Developed to be highly scalable across institutions and countries, it can support an unlimited number of courses and students. The CADDIE Collaborative Architectures for a Distributed Instructional Environment is designed to take advantage of the wide range of collaboration technology available on today's highly scalable Web Platforms, including messenger, voice over IP and real time and streaming video."
MIT's OpenCourseWare project currently provides free educational materials online for some 500 courses from 33 academic disciplines and all five of MIT's schools.
