The idea that lectures and online classes can succeed is nothing new. E-learning is actually big business, and large universities such as U.C. Berkeley are investing in technology and teams to take lectures and classes online. There are also free, open source platforms, such as Moodle, that make it easy for anyone to deliver a lecture or class online. Still, the common denominator for broadcasting online remains YouTube, and that’s why it’s not surprising to see a successful, free and open series of lectures taking shape there. As Physorg.com reports, California-based Sal Khan already has over 1,500 lectures on YouTube, and you can find out more about the Khan Academy lectures here.
