Good Afternoon Online Instructors,
Last week I blogged about a great video repository titled "Khan Academy."  This week I'd like to introduce a similar resource titled "Academic Earth."  In fact, Khan Academy is a part of the instructor team for Academic Earth.

• Michigan
• MIT
• Norwich
• NYU
• Princeton
• Stanford
• UCLA
• UNSW
• USC
• Yale

And Academy Earth offers courses and lectures (available for free download and addition to your online courses) on topics for the following subjects:

• Art & Architecture
• Astronomy
• Biology
• Business
• Chemistry
• Computer Science
• Economics
• Education
• Electrical Engineering
• Engineering (Except Electrical)
• Entrepreneurship
• Environmental Studies
• History
• International Relations
• Law
• Literature
• Mathematics
• Media Studies
• Medicine & Healthcare
• Philosophy
• Physics
• Political Science
• Psychology

I encourage you to check out this resource and let me know what you think!
