Default View Video Lectures from Harvard, MIT, Stanford & More Online for Free

Here's a pretty cool freebie -- video recordings of lectures from prodigious American universities that you can view online!! Head over to AcademicEarth.org and check out recorded lectures from Yale, Stanford, Princeton, MIT, Harvard, and Berkeley.

You will find a mix lectures with everything from English, to Computer Science, to History, to Entrepreneurship, to Economics, to Starcraft. Some lectures are stand-alone, and elsewhere, lectures for entire courses are available.

Wow, this is verrrrry cool! Since I always loved school so much and miss it all the time, I could so get into sitting and listening to a lecture a couple times a week! Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm a nerd..lol...buy hey, beats most of the nonsense on TV these days!

Thanks OP, saved to my favourites!

Thanks AndrewRFD! I just did a short preview of the StarCraft video and the lecturer said that StarCraft is embedded in real life.
