An EDU channel on YouTube is being  developed. Currently, more than 100 universities including Stanford, MIT, Harvard, Yale and UC Berkeley have started the course there. Most of them work together to provide specific information about the school as a virtual campus tour and other promotional materials.

Although the new phase, the presence of channel is also opened opportunities that it’s time the university began offering digital copies of the course online. So, those who do not have the money to pay for course can get education.

“There is great desire on the people of the world to improve their quality, one of which is to learn things that they may not have learned or have not they know,” said Obadiah Greenberg, Youtube Strategic Partnership Manager, April 13, 2009.

According to Greenberg, this online course trends have started to develop. Because the cost to go to a lecture often physically not affordable, even some need more than 100 thousand U.S. dollars for four years, universities such as MIT has launched OpenCourseWare program to bring most of their lectures online and free. While this idea has spread wide, from MIT and now present to YouTube .

Most of the university may not be ready to open their classroom doors 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. And once the video lectures are recorded, the video will be available forever.
