Selected lectures go online - Thomas Kaplan, Yale Daily News
Seven undergraduate lecture courses will be available online as streaming videos starting next fall, the first step in a pilot program to make select Yale classes accessible to the general public worldwide. The initiative — dubbed the Open Educational Resources Video Lecture Project — will be funded by a $775,000 grant from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, for which Yale President Richard Levin serves as a director. Coordinating the program is Diana Kleiner, a professor of art history and classics and former deputy provost for the arts, while the Yale Center for Media Initiatives — the group that helped launch the new classes v2 server last year — will manage its technical implementation.
