I've been "taking" a social psychology class from Berkeley via podcast. A few schools like Purdue and Berkeley offer class recordings via podcast. There's a list at culture.com/weblog/2006/10/free_university_1.html

That sounds cool, Christina. What is the learning experience like? Is the any opportunity to collaborate with other people who are doing the same thing to discuss lessons or to interact with the instructors via some sort of a listserv or forum etc.?

Nope, no support for that at all. It's just the audio files. In fact, I can't even seem to get the full citations of the readings so I'm just listening. The Berkeley one was very high quality, but the Purdue one I gave up on because of the quality and the class itself wasn't that well done.
