Open Yale Courses
Open Yale Courses is a project of Yale University to share full video and course materials from its undergraduate courses.
Open Yale Courses provides free access to a selection of introductory courses, and uses a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike license.
Open Yale Courses launched in December 2007 with seven courses from various departments. The project as of the most recent update in 2011, totaled 40 courses from a broad range of introductory courses taught at Yale college. Due to the current inactive status of Open Yale Courses, starting in 2022, professors have published 18 Yale courses on other platforms such as Coursetexts instead.
The initiative was funded by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, which has supported other universities' OpenCourseWare projects. Users are not required to pay or be enrolled at Yale to take any of these courses, as the courses are available for "all that wish to learn". However, no actual college credits are attainable from these courses.
