washingtonpost.com — Berkeley's on YouTube. American University's hoping to get on iTunes. George Mason professors have created an online research tool, a virtual filing cabinet for scholars. And with a few clicks on Yale's Web site, anyone can watch one of the school's most popular philosophy professors sitting cross-legged on his desk, talking about death.

I'm be a bit more accepting of the post-secondary industry now that I know at least some of them are providing online content. Isn't that the kind of world we all want to live in? Higher education is taking the high road and doing something good for everyone and not being profit hungry st4rf**kers. Entertainment industry I'm looking in your direction.

If you're interested in early 20th-Century poetry, I can recommend Langdon Hammer's lectures at Yale's site: <a class="user" href="http://open.yale.edu/courses/english/modern_poetry">http://open.yale.edu/courses/english/modern_poetry</a> ... . I watched one on Wallace Stevens (one of my favorite poets), and it was lucid and rewarding.

Nothings changed. In big classes you could have always sat in and listened to the lecture. Its not like you can get a degree by watching lectures. You're paying to jump through hoops for a piece of paper.
