I know places like Harvard have some of their lectures online on YouTube and the like. I’ve seen some for Calculus/Chemistry/etc. I can’t seem to find exactly what I’m looking for though, which is more business related items. Anyone have a good free/cheap online resource for topics on management/finance/economics etc?

I've enjoyed EdX and Coursera - they don't always have the largest selection, but they have had some great ones, especially edx.

I think the justice department shut them down earlier this year, because they were discriminatory against blind & deaf people.


quote:

The University of California, Berkeley, will cut off public access to tens of thousands of video lectures and podcasts in response to a U.S. Justice Department order that it make the educational content accessible to people with disabilities.

Today, the content is available to the public on YouTube, iTunes U and the university’s webcast.berkeley site. On March 15, the university will begin removing the more than 20,000 audio and video files from those platforms -- a process that will take three to five months --


The Justice Department, following an investigation, in August determined that the university was violating the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990. The department reached that conclusion after receiving complaints from two employees of Gallaudet University, saying Berkeley’s free online educational content was inaccessible to blind and deaf people because of a lack of captions, screen reader compatibility and other issues.


Harvard and MIT were sued as well.

I realize that they are trying to help people with disabilities but good god - you punish someone for giving out free education?

MIT Sloan School of Management free courseware. Not sure about the contents, but it should be better than nothing.

Predatory lawyers looking to make a buck. They couldn’t give a rats arse about actually helping disabled people. It’s the same people that sue places whose handicap spaces are 3 inches too narrow.
