Universities putting classes free online
Editor’s Note: This post is from an old blog I started over a decade ago. Many of my thoughts and opinions may have changed since it was originally posted, but I am a bit of a data hoarder and don’t like getting rid of old things. I also like to maintain the integrity of my things. Therefore, the blog has been left in its original form. The original blog was located at http://maxweiss.blogspot.com/
Both Harvard and Yale are starting a program of recording all of their classes and putting the videos online for free, because hey isn’t education wonderful and everybody should have access to it. I know other universities are starting projects like this as well, but I’m particularly happy about the Harvard and Yale ones because aside from being great schools, their first test classes to put up happen to be two of the most interesting courses I’ve ever seen. The Harvard one is a study in ethics and morality and the Yale one is an entire class about game theory, and each of them has like 20 hour-long videos… it’s an entire semester. Anybody who is interested, here’s the links
