Randy Cassingham's Bonzer Web Sites of the Week: Recognizing Interesting Sites that are Beyond the Microsoft/AOL-Time Warner/Media Megalith

Stanford on iTunes

The negative of this site is you have to have iTunes software, but that's so very outweighed by the positives: this is where you can download lectures, interviews, even sports from Stanford University. You can even "subscribe" to get particular categories of interest. It's astounding, really, that this is such a special thing: surely all great universities should offer such a service! And indeed, some others do, including:

  • California Institute of Technology
  • Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health
  • Massachusetts Institute of Technology
  • Tufts University
  • Utah State University

    Outside the U.S.:

  • Various Chinese universities
  • ParisTech OpenCourseWare project
  • Portal page for Japanese universities (Keio University, Kyoto University, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Osaka University, University of Tokyo, Waseda University)
