Free university lectures online
You may remember a little while back that I covered iTunes’ free university lecture videos. Well, here is another site that offers wonderful videos of university lectures for free: Academic Earth.
The brainchild of a US professor, Academic Earth offers 60 full comprising around 2,400 separate lectures across a wide range of disciplines — everything from psychology to computer science — so you’re sure to find something that interests you.
And the beauty of learning in this way is that you can do it at your own pace, not to mention the fact that it’s free and you don’t even have to leave the comfort of home.
Currently, all the lectures are from US universities — Yale, Harvard, Stanford, MIT — but most of the topics have universal relevance and appeal.
A great way to broaden your intellectual horizons.
