Yesterday two interesting articles dealing with online education were published on Mashable and TechCrunch.
The one on Mashable is written by Marco Masoni, Founder of Einztein which is an online portal for finding the best courses and video lectures on a certain topic and the one on TechCrunch is a recap of an interview with Bill Gates at the Techonomy conference.
Earlier this week I had the chance to talk to Gagan Biyani, Co-Founder of udemy.com and he invited me for a tour. The project is an interesting mixture of different tools we already know from other platforms but it also offers some new features that I think are quite useful for online education.
This is amazing. Just read about AcademicEarth.com in the weekly review of Jane Hart. This website offers thousands of video lectures from Universities like Berkeley, Stanford, Yale, Princeton, … for free!
Their mission is simple:
Academic Earth is an organization founded with the goal of giving everyone on earth access to a world class education.
