 I read this morning in the San Jose Mercury Newspaper that UC Berkeley is teaming with Google Video to make their lectures available for free online. You can be lectured by professors from one of America's premiere college institutions, for free! Granted, you don't earn credit for the courses, and you have to watch the videos from a computer, but at least you don't have to enjoy the 3mph traffic of the Bay Area cities.
The video lectures require a free video player called RealPlayer. Download it here. Or, you can view them on Google Video, located at http://video.google.com/ucberkeley
If video is not your cup of tea, how about audio lectures? You can download many of the daily lectures in iPod and MP3 format, allowing you to learn on the go. UC Berkeley has established a "webcast" section on their web site devoted to this at http://webcast.berkeley.edu/courses/index.php
Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, Physics and more! It's fun to see a positive move toward information sharing in this global age.
