  • University of California Television – Launched in January 2000, University of California Television (UCTV) is a non-commercial channel featuring 24/7 programming from throughout the University of California, the nation’s premier research university made up of ten campuses, three national labs and affiliated institutions.
  • MIT’s OpenCourseWare site – the best and most comprehensive resources on thousands of courses offered at MIT. Includes course-outlines, lecture notes, problem sets and (occasionally) videos of lectures. (also video lectures site, but less comprehensive)
