What a terrible decision! Taking thousands of videos off their youtube channel... because of accessibility?? That is complete nonsense. I was so hopeful when schools started to put out opencourseware videos. I learned so much watching them over the years. Now I am feeling more pessimistic than ever. If UC not only gives up on open courses, but go out of their way to delete them from the internet, this will discourage every other school from bothering.

The blog post doesn't make it very clear, but they were ordered by a judge to either subtitle everything they put online or remove the courses. It sounds like they do not have the money to subtitle everything, so they have to remove it. On Tue, Mar 7, 2017 at 6:57 PM, Dante Cassius <exaltedunmelody(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Some of the best ones are only available on iTunes. Is there a way to automate downloading these as well? Worst case scenario we can do it manually while there's still time. I've personally benefited from many of these and would hate to see them go. On Mon, Mar 6, 2017 at 8:47 PM, Yardena Cohen <yardenack(a)gmail.com> wrote:
