Yale Open Courses: The New Lineup

I want­ed to give every­one a heads up that Yale has just released its sec­ond round of “open cours­es.” And I have to say that the line­up looks great. Let me quick­ly list them for you:

• The Amer­i­can Nov­el Since 1945 (Amy Hunger­ford)
• Intro­duc­tion to Greek His­to­ry (Don­ald Kagan)
• Game The­o­ry (Ben Polak)
• Finan­cial Mar­kets (Robert Shiller)
• Mil­ton (John Rogers)
• France Since 1871 (John Mer­ri­man)
• The Civ­il War and Recon­struc­tion Era, 1845–1877 (David Blight)
• Fun­da­men­tals of Physics (Rama­mur­ti Shankar)
• Fron­tiers of Bio­med­ical Engi­neer­ing (W. Mark Saltz­man)

As always, each course fea­tures a syl­labus, read­ing assign­ments, class notes, and quite pol­ished lec­tures. The lec­tures can be down­loaded in one of five for­mats (text, audio, flash video, low band­width quick­time video, and high band­width quick­time video). And quite notably, Yale has designed the cours­es to be plat­form agnos­tic, mean­ing that you should be able to down­load the lec­tures to any com­put­er or mp3 play­er. For more on Yale’s Open Course ini­tia­tive, please vis­it its offi­cial web­site here. And please note that you can also find these cours­es in our larg­er col­lec­tion of Free Online Cours­es.
