UC Berkeley Free on YouTube

The University of California, Berkeley began to offer free course lectures on YouTube and this seems like a helpful addition to free course programs offered by places like MIT.


There are more than 300 hours of videotaped courses.


Berkeley has used open-source video since 2001, when its Educational Technology Services division launched webcast.berkeley.edu, a local site that now provides course and event content via podcasts and streaming video.


The number of courses available by podcast has increased from 15 to 86.
