I am just curious to see if any colleges live stream their classes? Or any students who tweet what they learnt today.
Would be a fun experiment. I do understand that it cuts into their revenue streams, but still want to explore.

#2I do. At least sometimes. I use Zoom to do so. I sometimes record them as well. We have had a lot of weather cancellations this winter, so I have been doing this quite a bit. But, I am not required to, nor do I do it 100% of the time.
FWIW, I teach Software Development at a community college.

#3Yes. Harvard’s CS50 course livestreams lectures, both in 2D and sometimes in 360 degree format (!)

#4Have you come across any good ones since?
I'd be curious to check them out!

#5UC Berkeley used to for a lot of computer science classes. But a lawsuit necessitated that they close caption all of their publicly available streams. Rather than pay money to get professional closed captions, they made streams private.

Private or... “private” ?

That's a real shame, a (presumably) well intentioned attempt to increase access to educational resources winds up restricting access instead. I wonder what the motivations and intended outcome of the lawsuit was.

It was a group of deaf people trying to get UCB to spend the money to better serve them.

I assume the motivation was to compel UC Berkeley to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act.

For free...so instead dicked everyone else who otherwise would have received for free.
