Berkeley University courses on YouTube

An incredible initiative of the University of California Berkeley. The american university (one of the most prestigious of the world) have decided to share on Youtube the lessons of it's courses. Within the end of 2007 the californian university wants to share on-line 86 different courses (Ansa).

I think this is a good initiative which could allows the development and the improvement of distance-learning and the overcoming of the economical shields at the knowledge access.
I hope that italian Universities too will start to consider and to use in concrete terms the new technologies (blog, wiki, youtube etc) to support their didactic offers and their research. Here the Berkeley University's page on YouTube.
