YouTube EDU: find great education content

by Rocky on November 24, 2009

in Internet

paranoiaYouTube EDU channel was launched this March, a volunteer project sparked by a group of employees who wanted to find a better way to collect and highlight all the great educational content being uploaded to YouTube by colleges and universities.

YouTube EDU is aggregating videos from dozens of colleges and universities, ranging from lectures to student films to athletic events. Some of this stuff is solid gold (the Stanford and MIT lectures are really good). Other content, not so interesting.

YouTube Edu lets viewers sort clips by school or number of views, and the schools offer content ranging from complete courses to campus events to information for prospective students.

When you are bored at home, learn something you really enjoy at this YouTube education channel. One is never too old to learn!
