Chowser writes "Forbes is reporting Stanford University is now offering a wide range of content on iTunes. From the article: 'In an unprecedented move, Stanford University is collaborating with Apple Computer to allow public access a wide range of lectures, speeches, debates and other university content through iTunes. No need to pay the $31,200 tuition. No need to live on campus. No need even to be a student. The nearly 500 tracks that constitute "Stanford on iTunes" are available to anyone willing to spend the few minutes it takes to download them from the Internet.'" Talaper noted the Official Apple Page on the program is up as well.

No need to pay the $31,200 tuition. No need to live on campus. No need even to be a student.
And no coursework, no grades, and no degree.
The value of these classes with a few exceptions is to demonstrate your competency to get in the school, complete the courses, get the degree - not to demonstrate that you heard a bunch of lectures.
