PBS and NPR Add to Trove of Free Online
Lectures
by Simmi Aujla PBS and NPR are now posting taped interviews and videos
of lectures by academics, adding to the growing number of free lectures
online.
Their site, called
Forum Network, says it makes thousands of lectures available,
including the Harvard professor Michael Sandel's take on calculating
happiness in a lecture called "How to Measure Pleasure," and a
discussion by a Northeastern University professor, Nicholas Daniloff,
about the difficulties of
reporting in Russia in a lecture called "Of Spies and Spokesmen: The
Challenge of Journalism in Russia."
The Web site also includes material featuring political figures and
business executives. The offerings from PBS and NPR add to video and
audio already available on sites such as
YouTube EDU and from individual universities such as the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology and
Yale University.
