Caltech Today Streaming Theater. "This site
houses streaming video of many of the programs that were
available to the Caltech community from 1999 to the
present. Most of these events took place on campus in
Beckman Auditorium, and feature Caltech faculty, students,
or distinguished visiting speakers."
- Learn Out Loud.
"Our mission is simple. We want to promote the use of
audio and video educational material for personal and
professional development. What does this means? It means
that we want to help you to see how you can turn 'dead
time' (time spent commuting, exercising, doing chores,
etc.) into 'learning time.' Most of us have at least a
couple of hours each day where we could be learning a
foreign language, deepening our spiritual or philosophical
interests or learning about any of hundreds of different
subjects. We want to help you find material that is both
entertaining and educational.
We encourage you to join us in Learning Out Loud. Through
our site we will help you discover new content and ways to
incorporate audio learning into your daily life. We invite
you to check out all of the areas of our site including
our catalog (with over 7,000 audio and video titles), our
articles and our publisher and author resource pages. We
also invite you to participate in our community through
our blog, forums, newsletter and podcast.
LearnOutLoud.com is based in Santa Monica, California, an
area of the country known for horrendous commute times.
We're just getting going and hope to offer you a whole lot
more in the future. We welcome you to contact us at any
time with feedback, suggestions, business opportunities or
anything else that you can think of. We're here to serve.
Keep letting us know what we can do to help you better
utilize the power of audio and video learning in your
life!" Comment: Turn your iPod into an
educational resource.

inspirational lectures I have every heard.
