“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”
– Benjamin Franklin
WOW! I am so excited! My son Lukas just introduced me to iTunes U. Have any of you had the opportunity to explore iTunes U? It is absolutely amazing – such an awesome free resource! For a tutorial go to http://www.apple.com/education/itunes-u/
So much knowledge and information at iTunes U. There are lectures and talks on absolutely every subject from most Universities in the US, and a few from Europe and the rest of the world. I found an exciting series of lectures in Psychology called: Understanding Happiness. There are mind boggling lectures in Science on subjects like Quantum Physics and String Theory. The basics are also offiered – like Intro to Psychology or Intro to Philosophy from Standford or Berkeley. One of my favorite lectures that I’ve watched on iTunes U is: On Death by Professor Shelley Kagan at Yale. Professor Kagan’s course has lectures, slides, and lecture notes – it’s an entire course! And it’s free!
Please let me know your thoughts Professor Kagan’s course On Death, and I’d love to hear about any course at iTunes U that you have experienced.
And as always thank you for taking the time to visit, I appreciate it.
Thank you for this post and the introduction to iTunes U. What a fabulous resource.
