Yale has just announced that they will offer free videos of seven of their undergraduate classes. Syllabi, transcripts and other course materials will be provided as well. Of these seven classes, one class will be Introduction to the Old Testament taught by Christine Hayes. So, if you don’t have $46,000 for tuition at Yale, don’t worry, you can still get this OT class for free.
It will be interesting to see how this develops. My guess is that this is only a pilot program and more will follow. Cornell has been very active with their online education program and maybe Yale is getting jealous. Furthermore, Standford and Duke have been giving away podcasts of profs for free and your very own Awilum.com has as also, so maybe Yale is realizing that they need to get on board as well. In addition, I have written a free booklet entitled Never the Same: How to Create Transformational Experiences that is distributed by ChangeThis.com.
With all this (and more to come shortly) free content at awilum.com, why do you even need Yale?
Yeah, get my hopes up and then they are dashed to pieces. Unfortunately, Yale will not make these courses available until fall of ’2007′! Guess I will have to wait to add the Yale classes to my ever expanding credentials.
Thanks for the update!
