With the help of a $755,000 grant, Yale University will be making 7 courses available online for free. What makes this different from similar initiatives by other top universities like MIT and Princeton, is that Yale will be including videos of each class along with transcripts and syllabi. While it seems very generous to allow the world inside their prestigious classrooms for free, you have to wonder how classes like "Introduction to the Old Testament," "Fundamentals of Physics" and "Introduction to Political Philosophy" were deemed to be important enough to be part of the select seven.
