I am now well on my way through another iTunesU course. This one, on The Hebrew Bible in Judaism and Christianity, given by professor from Harvard is five star excellent. Twenty six filmed one hour lectures that show just the professor but includes the voices of the class with some additional captioning. The extra treasure trove are the lecture notes for the whole of the course with hyperlinks to many of the extra readings.
This is not a course for the feint hearted or those who want an easy life. The lectures are best preceded and succeeded by a close reading of the paper or on line notes.
Go to iTunesU follow links to Harvard and then to this course.
Overall, I am reminded of the day when universities were thought to be a public good. They still could be.
