    Courses

    Hundreds of video lectures and tutorials from around the world are available from here on a variety of scientific topics as well as interviews with such luminaries as Tim Berners Lee and Noam Chomsky. Windows Media Player is required to view. The presentation is for the most part very straightforward and rarely goes beyond the taping in medium shot of a speaker lecturing his audience, though some of the interviews do stray outside the lecture hall. The encodings are perfectly watchable even for items that last over an hour and in addition copies of the relevant PowerPoints have sometimes been included. The site does not offer a subject index, but there is an alphabetised run down of all the speakers. The site is available in English and Slovenian.

    Since 1999, six Silicon Valley Astronomy Lectures have been presented each year at Foothill College, in California’s Silicon Valley. Speakers over the years have included Nobel-prize winners, members of the National Academy of Sciences, the first woman in history to discover a planet, an astrophysicist who is an award-winning science fiction writer, and many other well-known scientists explaining astronomical developments in everyday language. In the autumn 2006 the College began offering the lectures as audio podcasts, and it is hoped they may in the future also be available as streamed videos, funds permitting.
