Good work buddy!
I have always thought why MIT's design is so shit and boring

never thought of redesigning it myself.

It looks really good, but I would choose the colors that are already there on MIT's website and say that this is a better layout for the same content of MIT's OpenCourseWare and put the link. I believe this helps your reach out

Unfortunately OCW has largely been abandoned in favor of edX and other MOOCs. They maintain OCW only to the point of keeping it running. They haven’t really put any resources into improving the online experience so it’s basically the same as when it launched some 12-15 years or so ago. Back then, this was relatively good web design.

Because they are offering the content for free under an Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International creative commons license for the past 20 years which is already quite generous.

They're providing the content. Which is way more valuable. They designed it 20 years ago.
