Berkeley Courses on YouTube

Since 2002 I have "attended" many courses in MIT via their OpenCourseWare website and I believe they are the first top University to publish courses online for free. By that time the only thing they are lacking of is multimedia support for the lectures (which they are getting better and better these days), which sometimes I switch to iTunes' podcast for audio/video of lectures or seminars from Stanford or others.

I guess this is not an entire a new idea - UC Berkeley have built a customized portal site in youtube for all their video lectures. Yes it is very easy to create different "interest group" in youtube to put a bunch of videos together; but taking one more step further and make it into a customized page would reflect how much they value this platform in delivering their contents. This provides a better user experience, and help to lift their number of subscriptions and views.
