<p>Not to diminish the generosity and motivation behind this “opening of the Ivy League Curtain”, but MIT has been doing the same thing for a few years with MIT OpenCourseWare, which contains many videotaped segments of course lectures, together with course material (psets and exams). I’m glad Yale is following in this vein. I like that many of the elite colleges are pursuing the goal of open quality education, not education reserved to a select few.</p>

<p>Lol at people putting “taken classes at Yale.” The education is only a small part of an Ivy League degree.</p>

<p>People don’t go to Ivy schools because they learn more than other schools. They go because of the motivated student body and the opportunities a school presents.</p>

<p>lol i actually used these to review for psychology/physics tests and the teachers are amazing to say the least</p>

<p>Yale would put these up on iTunes as podcasts. It’s a pretty tedious process to individually download every lecture and then transfer it to an iPod.</p>
