Norman Jacknis, a long-time leader in the Westchester Alliance for Telecommunications and Public Access (WATPA), has shared another great resource.
Academic Earth is an organization founded with the goal of giving everyone on earth access to a world class education. www.academicearth.org It features thousands of video lectures from the world's top scholars and other notable lecturers. Subjects include: Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics,
Engineering, English, Entrepreneurship, History, Law, Mathematics, Medicine, Philosophy, Physics, Political Science, Psychology and Religion.
In the area of political science, for example, you can watch Bill Bradley, former U.S. Senator from New Jersey, lecture on "Russia: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow," and Thomas Friedman give a lecture at MIT on "The World is Flat 3.0" Princeton offers a series of five lectures on the global financial crisis, and Yale another six lectures.
What a great way to go back to school, or for high school students to get a preview of college!
