U Tube - Thought for the Week


Hi Folks

I know many of us go to Youtube quite a fair bit to look for content for our classes. In the unday Times today, there is a whole article dedicated to Universities now putting up chunks of the courses and even whole modules online for people to view. Even our NUS has jumped on the bandwagon. It costs MIT almost USD 100k just to upload and some detractors claim that such videos do not really help in the learning process as it is mainly passive. I'll leave you to decide that one. Here are some links to these channels. Have fun and who know what you can find for your students.
