It’s been a while since the emergence of university courses on the web. Currently, almost all major universities maintain projects regarding on line courses such as Open Course Ware provided by MIT and Open Yale Courses, by Yale University.
In these projects, at first, only written material such as student’s notes and exercises were provided. However, with the arise of video distribution through the web, it didn’t take long before cameras were used to record the classes and make the videos available on the web.
