MIT OCW is vastly overrated, and mostly garbage. I assume most people plugging it have never actually tried to use it... only for very few classes do they actually have video lectures. Most of the classes they have online just have a syllabus or something along those lines. Not very helpful.

Much better is UC Berkeley's webcasts. They have many more classes, and all the classes they list have a full semester of professor lectures. Good ones, too. http://webcast.berkeley.edu/
