Yale courses for free

I've used some of the materials from a similar program from MIT. Ever since I left college, I've really missed the discussions, debate, and avenues to learn new stuff. The MIT materials made up for that a little and now there's soon-to-be stuff from Yale!

Greg Mankiw links to an article from CNN:

Yale University said on Wednesday it will offer digital videos of some courses on the Internet for free, along with transcripts in several languages, in an effort to make the elite private school more accessible.

While Princeton University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and others already offer course material online without charge, Yale is the first to focus on free video lectures, the New Haven, Connecticut-based school said.

The 18-month pilot project will provide videos, syllabi and transcripts for seven courses beginning in the 2007 academic year. They include "Introduction to the Old Testament," "Fundamentals of Physics" and "Introduction to Political Philosophy."
