Yale Adds New Batch of Free Open Courses

A quick update for you. Yale Uni­ver­si­ty has added its third batch of cours­es to its open edu­ca­tion ini­tia­tive, bring­ing the total num­ber of cours­es to 25. (Find the com­plete list here.) The lat­est round is slight­ly big­ger than pre­vi­ous ones, which bucks the trend that we’re gen­er­al­ly see­ing. (Open Cours­es have been in a notice­able slump for the past year.) Below, I have list­ed the new­ly added cours­es and pro­vid­ed links to iTunes, YouTube, and pages where you can down­load the cours­es in var­i­ous oth­er for­mats. I have also added these cours­es to our online col­lec­tion of Free Cours­es from top uni­ver­si­ties. This col­lec­tion now fea­tures over 250 free cours­es, all ready to down­load to your com­put­er or mp3 play­er. iPhone own­ers can also find many oth­er cours­es on our free iPhone app.
