Open Yale Courses

So many resources, so little time. This is one of those weekends when I am just overwhelmed with the sheer quantity and quality of the resources that lifelong learners have available on the Internet.

It's hard to know what to share today. I guess it has to be Yale University. What this site, Open Yale courses, lacks in number of courses, it makes up for in resources for each course. You can take a look a very diverse line-up, from astronomy to poetry.

ENGL 310 - Modern Poetry with Professor Langdon Hammer looks very interesting, as does PLSC 114 - Introduction to Political Philosophy with Professor Steven B. Smith.

You can choose from audio or video lectures and quite a bit of supporting material for each course.

It's getting ever more difficult to be an independent learner. Just choosing what to study can be extremely taxing. What wonderful dilemas we find ourselves facing.
