AcademicEarth.org - Video Lectures From Top Scholars

“Thousands of video lectures from the world’s top scholars” is the way that this online resource advertises itself, and that is a fine description. Basically, this beta website has the noble objective of letting any person have access to a better, world class education no matter where they are located.





The main page lists the featured universities and lecturers, and the same goes for the most renowned instructors. Users can also create playlists (a la YouTube), and these can be shared and accessed through the main page. By way of example, some of the featured subjects include “Computer Science”, “Law”, “History” and “Political Science”. There is also an “Entrepreneurship” category and an “Economics” subsection for those who look for a niche in the industry.

All in all, the site can be counted upon when it comes to accessing quality educational content on the web, and also sharing content of your own with others. If you want to see what the site is all about and where it can lead you just locate your browser at www.academicearth.org and give it a spin for yourself. Although it is just starting out, I bet you will already find it self-realizing.
