Now on Web, Yale classroom open to public - Ruth Kim, Yale Daily News
Members of the public no longer need a winning admissions essay to watch Harold Bloom’s Shakespeare lectures, which are now available online as streaming video. And soon, anyone with access to the Internet will be able to listen to “Game Theory” lectures on Apple Computer’s iTunes or use Microsoft’s Live Search interface to virtually leaf through out-of-print books housed in the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. The Open Educational Resources Video Lecture Project, developed last year and launched this fall, provides online access to popular talks and lectures through iTunes, and the Microsoft-Yale Project, which was announced in September, will digitalize 100,000 rare English-language books by the spring. The initiatives are designed to facilitate students’ research efforts and provide those outside academia a glimpse into the richness of Yale’s scholarly offerings, administrators said.
