ParentalTech alerts us to the existence of Open Culture, where Dan Coleman (Director & Associate Dean of Stanford’s Continuing Studies Program) and Ed Finn (graduate student in Stanford’s Department of English) catalog and write about:

cultural and educational media (podcasts, videos, online courses, etc.) that’s freely available on the web, and that makes learning dynamic, productive, and fun. We sift through all the media, highlight the good and jettison the bad, and centralize it in one place.

A mere couple of examples of the sort of content Open Culture provides:

10 Signs of Intelligent Life at YouTube
Links to intellectual/educational content on YouTube, including academic programming from UC Berkeley, Nobel Prize lectures, TED Talks, and more.

Online Courses
Includes list of 75+ lectures downloadable as Podcasts.
