Web site of the Week—Academic Earth


Academic Earth is a great resource for videos of scholarly lectures. The videos cover a variety of topics, from Chemistry to Political Science. Renowned professors from major universities give these lectures; some agreed to have an entire class filmed and uploaded to this web site, available for all to enjoy.

As the web site states: "Academic Earth is an organization founded with the goal of giving everyone on earth access to a world class education."

Great for:
  • Video Resources
  • Professional Development
Below are some sample videos:

Politics/Global Ethics:
Thomas Friedman—"The World is Flat 3.0"



Physics:
Walter Lewin—"Measurements of Space and Time"



English:
Amy Hungerford—"Vladamir Nabokov, Lolita"



Mathematics:
Gilbert Strang—"The Geometry of Linear Equations"
