The amount of visual aids is growing in the learning atmosphere. Already two topics were introduced here in this blog:

In addition we would like to point out that more and more ‘lectures’ become available in audiovisual format.  One of the famous examples are the  global TED lectures (ideas worth spreading) . They are more and more visible on the internet. Next to this we would like to share Academic Earth with you. This channel is hosting free video courses from leading universities (Stanford, MIT, …). In fact this nice collection of video’s refers to initiatives of several institutions and universities that already were available on the net for some time.

A final collection with 385 free online courses from other top universities can be found here:
