Lectures are usually held on a campus where lecturers teach the course material to students. But, if ever made an online lecture on the internet? Precisely in the countries the United States have started a course in EDU channel on YouTube. More than 100 universities in the United States including Stanford, MIT, Havard, Yale and UC Berkeley. Most of the universities are working together to provide specific information about the school as a virtual campus tour and other promotional materials.

Although the new phase, the existence of this channel EDU will open the opportunity that is every time the university began offering digital copies of the course online. So, those who do not have the money to pay for college can get the education. this is incredible ..

Because the cost to go to a lecture often physically not affordable by people who can not afford or who live from hand to mouth, even some university tuition has reached 100 thousand U.S. dollars for four years, universities such as MIT OpenCourseWare has launched a program to bring most of the lectures their online and free. While this idea has spread wide, from MIT to YouTube now present.


Most of the university may not be ready to make a system such as the online lectures to the internet for various things, one of them is financial. However, the fact that the information era has changed the world, in the near future, campuses were forced to have to do it that. Now the technology not be imagined 10 years ago as the infrastructure to stream video lectures directly to every house in the world is available. And once the video lectures are recorded, the video will be available forever.
