Stanford and MIT – lectures on YouTube

I have just discovered that both Stanford and MIT have lecture courses on youtube. I’m still a little shocked, all that learning for free(pinches self). It’s a little difficult knowing where to start, so many great courses and only a limited amount of time. Danger here, I think, is I’ll try and start too much and simply never finish anything.

From the brief look at the courses lists though, they do seem to be quite skewed in favour of the technical (with is understandable I guess given the medium). Lets hope that the balance gets restored as soon as possible…….then again thinking back I seem to remember spending far more time in lectures (Physics) then my arty brethren anyway.

Lets hope this trend continues with other universities and cources.
