Are there anyother university websites with information and lecture notes for a a range of courses like this one from MIT?
There are a lot of university courses with lecture notes and tutorials up on a publically accessible webpage. MIT was just the first/most famous one who decided to implement it as a university wide policy with a consistent UI.
One step further: Carnegie Mellon’s Open Learning initiative.
There are several Caltech course websites that post notes and tutorials. However, there aren’t many, as it’s not a university wide policy. I also don’t know if the sites are accessible outside of the Caltech network. Sorry I can’t help you any further, but thanks for the MIT link.
You may also want to check out The Connexions Project at Rice University. It is NOT just lecture notes from a particular set of courses online (like I understand CourseWare to be), but more like an open source repository of educational materials. People write short snippets (maybe the equivalent of 1-2 pages in a book) about a specific topic and then contribute that writing to be used free of charge. People teaching classes can then organize the snippets in any way they prefer for their particular class. So, you can browse through the repository of snippets, or look at current courses and see how one particular expert has arranged the material.
This was started by some people in an electrical engineering department (doing signal processing), so this field is still the one with the most material available. But, other fields (such as music) do have significant representation. Follow the instructions on the webpage to get your browser set up properly to view the content (which is written in MathML for proper display).
Not a University website, but Google has begun this:
Thanks. Those are cool. But I couldn’t make the google scholar thing work well. Just as easy to go to advanced search there and use that to isolate .edu and pdf in your searches to get close to scholarly answeres.
Berkeley has videos of some lectures, at http://webcast.berkeley.edu/courses/schedule.html, as well as links to class websites.
Thank you everybody for the links. I never knew resources like this even existed. This is so cool!
