Free Education???

Well not really of course since one would need a computer, internet access and no degrees would ever been handed out. This UC Berkeley web page has webcasts and podcasts of full courses of lectures (go to /courses). Some of the course websites are up and have required reading, assignments, and projects if you are so inclined. I am simply amazed by the availability of this high quality education to anyone in the world who can get access to the internet. Harvard has done something similar with a couple courses (Computer Science) but this is the largest list I've come across. As far as I can tell, this is all free and open to the public. I always wanted to study "Foundations of American Cyberculture"!!!
