A special section in YouTube for Videos from colleges and other education institutions

Google has launced YouTubeEDU to collect videos from educational institutes, colleges, universities, et al.

The blurb on the YouTube blog says

Using YouTube as a vehicle to democratize learning is one of the coolest, unintended outcomes of its existence. YouTube EDU is a volunteer project sparked by a group of employees who wanted to find a better way to collect and highlight all the great educational content being uploaded to YouTube by colleges and universities. We'll feature some of these videos on the home page on Friday and elaborate further in a separate post on that day.”

First thoughts – University on demand J

After institutions like MIT opening up their entire curriculum this is an interesting way to mine such info.
