Enter the classrooms of Harvard University.

Computer Science E-1: Understanding Computers and the Internet is a course offered each fall at Harvard University's Extension School. It is part of the school's Distance Education Program, which means that students can take this course via the Internet.

Each of E-1's lectures is recorded (in audio and video formats), digitized, and posted on the course's website, where it remains available for on-demand viewing until term's end. These lectures are available to registered students in high-resolution RealAudio and RealVideo formats, each synchronized with slideshows of lectures' slides.

Also to available this term via podcast to the public at large are the course's lectures and videos of the week, along with some sections and workshops, in MP3 and QuickTime formats.

If every undergrad watched this series, IT Helpdesks would be out of business! It's the best podcast we found. Podcasts by David J. Malan, Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard. Malan takes full advantage of the video Ipod to enhance his lessons with slides, glossaries and videos.
