Why doesn't Oxbridge post lectures online like Harvard and Stanford?

Title. Harvard, Stanford and MIT post lectures online so that students from all over the world can benefit from them. Why doesn't Oxbridge or other popular universities in the UK do so? It it the facilities? Is it the setup of the courses? Are they selfish?

So how long have they been around for, then? Three years, maybe? That's hardly a long time...
Also, if you had clicked the link in the very first reply to your thread, you'd have seen that Oxford do actually offer a series of podcasts, some of which are recordings of regular lectures.

'Oh no, I can't get lecture notes from Oxford on the internet...I know, I'll join a gang and hang out on a street corner! That will be just as intellectually stimulating!'
This is obviously the reason there are idiots in the world. They cant get hold of lectures on the internet...

I've already stated why it was strange to me

Read people.

This is why americans think brits are pretentious (if you're even british). I mean seriously, they don't have to post everything. None of the schools I listed do. I just thought it was strange that UK unis didn't do this, especially for two unis that set the standard in education--- as you basically stated above. It seems they would want to lead this charge in spreading education online.

*I haven't checked the above link yet.

I gave a quick browse to the Oxford website and I was really referring to a continuous in class selection.

I've always thought they've done it for brand awareness (wanting their name to reach all corners of the world).

Come on, there not that recent. Are there any plans for oxbridge to do so? Online lectures have been around long enough that if there were any plans to do so, something surely would have been said by now.

Clearly, we disagree on the time it takes to make plans so there's no point in getting into detail about that.

I also refer you to post 7. Hint: Read it carefully.

I looked at iTunes u and that wasn't really what I was looking for. If there are regular lectures posted great but it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I've already said that I guess they are there, but the setup is strange to me. Why do they have a different professor for each lecture?

This is such a selfish attitude. If you truly think that knowledge is worthless because someone gives it away then you have a messed up idea of what knowledge actually is and is for. I can't believe you honestly think that if oxbridge posted more lectures people would stop attending. Like it or not, people will still care whether you actually attended the educational institution because they know what type of student you had to be to get in there the first place. Anyone can take a course online and once again-- we're just talking about a few lectures (and unis are more than lectures). Online courses help educate the population--people who may not have been able to get the information otherwise. Why someone would want to deny education is beyond me. As far as being disrespectful to oxbridge students--- these students should be smart enough to know that taking a few courses online is not going to diminish the value of their full course load and subsequent degree from those unis.

Also, the second part of your comment is highly ignorant.

Struggling here to find the bit where you said how strange it all is. The fact that you want Oxford and Cambridge to Taylor their online lecture system to a way which you can understand is unbelievably egocentric. UK degree courses are run quite a lot different to those found in the USA, so obviously anything they post online is going to be in a different format?




How?? Or were you just being pretentious and rude? Because that's the kind of attitude I'm getting from you.

You're unbelievably arrogant and a liar at that. When did I ever say that I wanted anything my way? Find the quote or GTFO with your lying self. Yes, you are pretentious and rude, and may I also add desperate to that group. I posted a question. Go kick rocks if you have a problem with someone asking a simple question.

Blimey you're so reactionary. Chill out! When someone showed you that Oxford does post lectures, you just said 'that's not what I want' when it was an answer to your question? Perhaps I misinterpreted your original question but it seemed to me to be saying 'why don't these universities post online lectures'

Yes. This is correct

then when the answer was 'they do'

Yes, this was the response from some

you simply said 'yes but not in a way I can understand/in a way that I want'.
Correct me if I'm wrong...

Have you been on iTunes U? Both Oxford and Cambridge post many lectures online.

Cool story bro

You're the one who posted a thread about trying to find Oxbridge lectures online. Cool attitude toward people trying to help you, bro.

And thanks for the neg, ****tard.
