Last year, I started to create a list about sites focusing on medical/scientific videos, lectures and animations. I’ve been actively improving that list which now contains 17 websites! Through the comment section, I’ve recently come across a new service currently in beta. LearnersTV.com seems to be a unique resource of medical lectures.
This is a comprehensive site providing free Video lectures, Animations, LiveOnline Tests, Audio lectures, ebook download links etc in the fields of Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, Medicine etc… This site provides free video/audio lectures of whole courses conducted by faculty from reputed universities around the world.
Of course, my favourite section was the one dedicated to Medical Genetics. What do they provide?
An extremely useful database! That’s what web 2.0 is about. Check it out!
Good find. Up until now I was using MIT’s OpenCourseware, which is pretty good, but I’ll have to take a course through this site to compare the two.
Great resource! How did you find it?
I was wondering how they are funded and if the website be around in a year or so. Streaming video costs a lot of money if you host it on your website…
“Web 2.0″ is about useful databases? But those were around well before O’Reilly came up with “Web 2.0″ in 2005.
Berci, what makes you describe this tool as “Web 2.0″ …instead of just “Web”?
I have been collecting video lectures for 1.5 years now.
My blog is at Free Science Online.

I have collected maths, physics, computer science, biology, engineering and many other lectures!

Ves: That’s what comments are for. A nice reader shared it with me.
David: You’re absolutely right. I use it more often than I should.
Peteris: I’ve already included your site here (http://scienceroll.com/2007/08/29/sites-of-medicalscientific-videos-the-list/)
I’ve been collecting YouTube medical videos for about a month now.
