I have been ranting a lot about the stubborn staff at Ilmenau's university. Go tell 'em, that students shall create and improve the study materials, that this information should be free. Try to explain to them, that collaboration with other universities will improve and that professors will need less time to do more. You'll get laughed and shouted at.
Well, MIT again understands all this. And they even start to build a network.
MIT OpenCourseWare

In Ilmenau some study materials are even password-protected - I never understood the logic behind that!

Let's see, how long Ilmenau's good reputation can keep up with those antique and lame politics...
