The Portable University

Over the past six months, we have cre­at­ed a series of resources that let you access uni­ver­si­ty resources for free and on-the-fly. Below, we have cen­tral­ized these mate­ri­als in one place to give you quick access:

• Uni­ver­si­ty Video Col­lec­tion
  • A large trove of video con­tent from well-known uni­ver­si­ties. All video can be watched on your com­put­er.
• Uni­ver­si­ty Pod­casts  — Gen­er­al Col­lec­tion
  • This col­lec­tion fea­tures large pod­cast col­lec­tions from lead­ing uni­ver­si­ties in the US and Europe.  This col­lec­tion will def­i­nite­ly give your mind a work­out.
• Uni­ver­si­ty Pod­casts — Law School
  • A more focused col­lec­tion of pod­casts from major Amer­i­can law schools.

  • Anoth­er spe­cial­ized col­lec­tion of pod­casts pro­duced by top-notch MBA pro­grams and busi­ness school pub­lish­ers (e.g. Har­vard Busi­ness Review). See relat­ed arti­cle here.
• 10 Excel­lent Uni­ver­si­ty Pod­casts
  • Title pret­ty much says it all.

  • These pod­casts are most­ly not spon­sored by uni­ver­si­ties, but they seemed worth includ­ing in this mix of edu­ca­tion­al mate­ri­als.
• E‑learning Pro­grams from Top Amer­i­can Uni­ver­si­ties
  • There are many insti­tu­tions now offer­ing online cours­es. Many, how­ev­er, are of dubi­ous qual­i­ty. Here are some pret­ty good ones.
