Here’s some very interesting news that we spotted on SiliconBeat today:

“Speaking of Stanford, the university has announced an agreement with Apple to produce free podcasts of lectures, student music, play-by-play of its football games and more. There’s already a ton of content in the iTunes store, including lectures from the Technology Ventures Program.” [more...]

I think this is a fantastic idea and found a number of great lectures and speeches from the Stanford site to keep me busy for a while (here’s the link to visit the site). If anyone from Wharton, Kellog, Sloan, Anderson, Haas, HBS (I’ll stop the list there – it would take me days to list all of the business schools I’d like to see content from) is reading this, myself and probably a million other individuals would love to hear a select number of your lectures as well. Kudos to Stanford and Apple for leading the way (although, I think MIT beat them to the “open education” punch, but we’ll ignore that for the moment).

I wonder if Cal Poly’s Orfalea College of Business has any interest…
