YouTube EDU: An Alternative To College?

April 10, 2009 - 1:30 pm By COED Staff

youtube_edu College too expensive? Try YouTube.

It might seem counter-intuitive to look for higher education alongside Avril Lavigne music videos, but the video-sharing site has become a major reservoir of college content.

The Google Inc.-owned YouTube has for the last few years been forging partnerships with universities and colleges. The site recently gathered these video channels under the banner YouTube EDU (http://www.youtube.com/edu).

More than 100 schools have partnered with YouTube to make an official channel, including Stanford, MIT, Harvard, Yale and the first university to join YouTube: UC Berkeley.

There are promotional videos like campus tours, but the more interesting content is straight from the classroom or lecture hall. Many schools have posted videos of guest lecturers, introductory classes and even a full semester’s course.

Just check out all the features and visit YouTube.com/edu for yourself.

Hannah Hilton is Today’s Daily Snapshot

Busty, blond and bodaciously beautiful, 24-year-old Hannah Hilton has quickly become a household name – at least in households with dudes who watch a lot of porn. The former high school cheerleader and Dairy Queen employee first got her start in the nude modeling business after having photos of her online noticed by an agent in L.A. And before she knew it, she was a Penthouse Pet of the Month.
