Open Yale Courses provides free and open access to a selection of introductory courses taught by distinguished teachers and scholars at Yale University. You can take these free classes online from the comfort of your home. The aim of the project is to expand access to educational materials for all who wish to learn.
When you click on the link, a random class is featured. If you look at the column on the left you will see a list of subjects in which the free classes are available.
For example: When I click on English there are four classes being offered. At the moment, I am most interested in Modern Poetry taught by Professor Langdon Hammer. So when I click on the class title, the class description page is revealed. This also includes a bio of Professor Hammer. At the bottom of the description paragraph, it says: view class sessions
Be sure to check the column on the left of this page, too. There is a way to download the complete class in Zip file if you do not want to do it one by one.
I learned about this from a very talented young writer, Nath Jones. Thank you, Nath!
For those of us who longed for a Yale education, this would be really nice. Wish I could afford Yale! :-)
ReplyDeleteCiss, you can have a Yale education... or at least partially, through this program. It is online. Each semester they offer different classes.
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that? You know, I actually live about 10 minutes from Yale campus - now I can "afford" to take classes there! : )
