Sorry for taking so long to respond to this one — loved that TechCrunch took some space to cover it, since it was a little outside the realm of normal startup coverage. I actually spent some time watching some of the videos today, and while they were a little dry (reminded me of the good, and bad, of undergrad!), I really enjoyed the ‘Physics for Future Presidents’ lecture(s) — I recommend the first one… even if you just watch the first 5-10 minutes (he relates how the meteor in in the Tacoma Truck ad relates to what would really happen if that occurred…):

Back in March The Education Services Minister Jacinta Allan (for the Australian State of Victoria) announced that the government had banned and blocked YouTube in schools. Which really begs the question: if the kids have already hacked around the firewalls to get to the *bad* content, why not show the *good* content anyway? Clearly smarter minds than mine are at work here.

Podclass.com is a website that is designed specifically for online learning. Unlike YouTube, Podclass offers instructors a private area where they can post their content, including videos, audio, PDF, assignments, etc. And students who are enrolled in a course at Podclass can interact and collaborate within a course forum, and wiki. It becomes a virtual community of students enrolled in the course.

Here’s the link: http://www.podclass.com

This is nothing new. The UC Berkeley thing has been mentioned all over the web for months now. MIT also has lectures available online to anyone for free. Information wants to be free…and it now is in many places.

MIT’s OCW vs others.

Most of OCW courses from MIT are designed to be broad casted.The professior knows it is being broadcasted and they make sure the lecture is broad cast’able (like if a student asks a question, professor repeats the question so the person watching can hear the question etc.). it also has course notes,quiz,assignments everything that the class has.

I tried to watch couple of Berkley courses a year ago, but I found they are not designed to be broadcasted and many a times I felt there was something missing.

UC Berkeley Uploads 300+ Hours Of Video To YouTube…

In the spirit of making it an ever more leisurely exercise to go to college without, you know, actually going to college, the University of California at Berkeley has begun “uploading video recordings of course lectures to YouTube.”

#6 oh, you’re so sweet.

#20 We study all about war from every angle. Makes sense to study about non-violent conflict resolution. World peace.

Universities really offer courses in building FB apps? I could get a PhD after all. LOL!

I have tried watching the lectures but they really makes me want to go on exchange…

They should all get them – so you could choose your university from the quality of the lectures

Hopefully they post the live lectures on a platform that makes you able to discuss with your fellow students/make assignments and pose questions to the professors

FYI, as Nick mentioned above, UC Berkeley has been webcasting courses internally for quite a while (and of course, other universities have been doing the same). I’m a fourth year student at Berkeley, and a large handful of my classes have been webcast over the years (including Operating Systems this semester). At http://webcast....edu/courses.php, you can watch courses going back to 2001.

#4: I try to go to class because I like asking questions, but it’s true that in webcast courses there is less attendance. It’s a very handy tool when I accidentally sleep in or have more important things to do, though.
