Higher learning has been on my mind lately. Jeanie recently asked Dawn and I to pen letters of recommendation for her grad school applications and my little sister was just accepted to Emory earning their coveted Woodruff Scholarship! So in a matter of months, both women will be sitting in cavernous lecture halls soaking up knowledge from some of the world's greatest professors.
For the rest of, there's Academic Earth. Created by social entrenpreneur Richard Ludlow, Academic Earth offers thousands of video lectures from the world's top scholars, universities, think tanks and conferences. Touted by TechCrunch as "the Hulu of Education", Academic Earth aims at "giving everyone on earth access to a world-class education.”
