I have downloaded an MIT OpenCourseWare course, but I can access the materials. How do I get started?
Zip files contain the same content as the online version. They allow you to review OCW materials on your computer even when you’re not online. • Unzip the course packaging with decompression software such as WinZip or Stuffit. Windows will let you browse into a Zip file without unzipping, but the links will not work. • The file called imsmanifest.xml is used in packaging and in some external systems; you do not need to access this file when browsing your course. • Start by opening the course folder (for example: 3-093Fall-2006). • Inside this folder is a file called Welcome.htm. Double-click this file to begin using your downloaded course. Please note that audio, video, and some other special files are not included in the download zip package in order to keep these files a manageable size. You can download these files through links provided in the course. Some audio and video lectures are also available through MIT’s iTunes U and YouTube sites.
