Last week at Colloquium, during our new technologies session, learners were curious about how to access YouTube’s OpenCourseWare movement channel. (I was under the impression there was a YouTube channel similar to the ITunes U channel, where a person can watch and freely listen to lectures from big-name universities and researchers across the country.)
Well, this article let me know that:
“YouTube does not have a single page from which all the university channels can be accessed.”
Instead, here are some sample individual channels:
- Vanderbilt University
- University of California Berkeley
- University of Southern California
- University of California Television
- Duke University
- Washington University
- Purdue University
- Auburn University
- MIT
I did discover one way to search for University channel lectures directly, though:
- Go to www.youtube.com.
- Click Channels tab.
- Search for a topic, combined with the word “university.” E. g.: “university anatomy.”
- Click Channels link below the search box.
So if you have a specific research interest or just want to download some high-intellect shows for your morning bus commute, this should help you get started.
