If you liked that, you'll love these.

YTube Channel Links

MIT OpenCourseware

Stanford University Open Courseware

UC: Berkley Open Courseware

University of Virginia

UCLA Courses

More can be found here.

I only specifically posted a few that I ran across with actual courses online. While many of the collages listed do not have actual courses, their other videos, lectures, introductions, interviews, dissertations, etc, are well worth the consideration of watching.

I've been mentioning these OpenCourseWare programs every chance I get for a few months now since they started. Granted, you don't get a degree or accreditation - but what the hell! It's a collage education! Free! How can one complain about being kept ignorant by the elites with reruns of American Idol, when you have MIT, Yale, and UC Berkley courses at your fingertips?

Knowledge is power, and our society literally seeps knowledge from every crack and crevice of it's infrastructure. Offered free and in good faith to any and all. Would that you just partake of that knowledge of your own initiative.... because if the aforementioned statement be true, then they are giving away power to the public.

Yeah, it's no replacement or compensation for a real and comprehensive collage education. Still, even a spark of education is preferable to a void of ignorance.

You are going to find more and more of this from elite universitys. You will also see significanly more scholarships from them. The issue here is several fold:

The universities are getting significant pressure to cut tuition when they have, as in the case of Harvard, and endowment of over $100bn. The issue here is are they a university or an asset management firm/bank? With that kind of dough, why are they raising tuition 6 to 8%/year?

The government is putting pressure on them as well. With that kind of dough, why would the government give them any money?

As a result, they are doing more of this on-line stuff and they are giving out a significant amount of scholarship money.

Both good things and if you have the time to take advantage of it, have at it.

One of the unusual things that has come out of this is that because they are giving out so much more money, there are smart kids who never would have thought to apply to an elite school because they could not afford it. Now they are getting in. There are a number of rich kids that I personally know who were all but certain to get into a top school who did not get in because the competetion just got a lot harder. Some are taking a year off, some are going to lower quality schools and some are going to community colleges. Again, a good thing in my opinion, for a ton of reasons.

If you have friends with smart kids who thought these schools were out of reach because of the money, tell them to adjust their thinking and give them another look.
