Free Online Video Education from Top Universities

pkrumins writes "Over the past few years, some of the world's top universities have started offering free video recordings of their lectures. Being a student, I have enjoyed them and collected them in my bookmarks — until recently I talked to few people, and they did not know about it! So I decided to create a blog about free video education online. I am mostly focusing on physics, mathematics and computer science video lectures."

Why a blog?

This is a very useful resource, but I don't understand why a blog format is a reasonable way to present it! Why not just update a vanilla web page?

The Berkeley CS61 lectures are available as free podcasts on iTMS, by the way.

Neuroscience/Consciousness lectures

[FleaPlus]

Christof Koch [wikipedia.org], a neuroscientist at Caltech, has some online lecture videos [caltech.edu] from a course he teaches each year on the neural basis of consciousness. They're pretty neat, and give a nice overview of visual neuroscience. There's lots of fun stuff about how splitting the brain splits consciousness, experiments which probe at our inner "zombie agents," and so forth.

Well there is alot of stuff in there. It's not like slashdot could link to everything he does in one of it's post. Besides it's not a 'blog' as in 'weblog' or 'online diary' or even a homepage. it's a clearly focused website with a specific theme that aggrigates internet resources (like slashdot), it just happens to use a blog engine. Infact it seems to avoid the 'lets just talk about whatever the fuck is on our mind' danger even more than slashdot by only linking to videos.
