Title: University course lectures online?
Post by: Kosh on October 14, 2009, 11:07:24 pm

I heard some university's in the US put some undergraduate course lecture videos online free to the public. If that is true then where can I download one? (and it can't be youtube)

The reason being is because part time I teach a small class of students as part of a prep program for them to go to the US (business and finance majors mostly). Frankly I don't think they know what they are getting themselves into, so part of my next class I want to show them what a REAL university lecture is like. I would prefer it if the lecture was in business or finance.

MIT OpenCourseWare is great.

Thanks.

EDIT: Frack, it seems their economics section doesn't have any videos. Any other recommendations or should I use a video from an unrelated course?

EDIT2: When I try to see a video from there it won't play.

Well, it's youtube, but it's interesting nonetheless.

Youtube doesn't work here I'm afraid, so I can't access it.

Most of the universities do it in Dublin

But you have to be a member of that college/ uni to be able to access the content


Good idea, to help those who are sick or hungover

Use Tor and download the FLV. It's slow but it works.
