A quick follow-up to the Open Courseware ("Attend Yale in Your Underwear" - sue me for feeling jiggy) post from a couple of days ago. I've been exploring more over the last couple of days, and am very impressed by UCBerkeley's Open Courseware package. The six-minute video below gives you a tour of the videos, lecture notes, and slideshows Berkeley makes available with its offerings.

We hear a lot about teachers needing to be content experts in their assigned courses. For those who feel like they need a refresher, this fits the (no cost!) bill unbelievably. Administrators take note, and save your professional development funds accordingly.

Enjoy (and a special thanks to Prof. Peggy Anderson at Berkeley/Stanford for the help, and the great survey of modern European history) [Update: I don't know why the YouTube is so small. Hit the full screen toggle for a much better view.]
