Continuous Education… For Free
By Anna Johnson on April 3rd, 2009Two new services launched last week which may provide Internet marketers with a new source of ideas, information and learning: YouTube EDU and Academic Earth.
Now you may not learn specific strategies to optimize your pay-per-click campaign… and if you’re anti-academia these may not appeal to you… but if you’re eager to soak up the stuff coming out of some of the top universities, YouTube EDU and Academic Earth may serve you well.
Essentially, YouTube EDU is a new YouTube channel featuring videos of lectures and other videos from various academic institutions. The content is primarily organized by academic institution. Take a look here: YouTube EDU
Academic Earth aggregates course content from lots of universities into subject areas. For that reason, it’s easier to navigate and find useful information if you want to learn something specific.
In fact, I really like Academic Earth. I clicked on the ‘Entrepreneurship’ subject and found an impressive range of videos from guest lecturers including Larry Page and Eric Schmidt (co-founder and CEO of Google respectively), Evan Williams (co-founder of Twitter), Reid Hoffman (founder of LinkedIn), Michael Dell (founder of Dell Computer) and many more.
