Open Learning

I really like this concept of Open Learning from Yale. Basically, they are providing full lecture materials online for specific introductory classes so that anyone with an internet connection can take advantage. This is great for intellectual development of those that aren't able to attend university but have a passion to learn. For SFU Students, I think it's a good way to get an in depth look into classes or fields that you are thinking of entering. Check it out, they have Astronomy, English, Philosophy, Physics, Political Science, Psychology, and Religious Studies in video, audio, and text transcript format.

    I think you can access some of the audio lectures from SFU as well online without any affiliation, its an interesting concept for anyone who does just want to learn

    Indeed. I've never been blocked from downloading a lecture recording from:
    http://www.sfu.ca/~lectures/

    I listened to an intro archaeology lecture while going to sleep last night, was pretty interesting. :)

    Yes, I am a nerd.

    Wow, those are great. CMPT275 and 250 are both on there. How come I never heard of this? Cool stuff.

    Thanks.
