World Lecture Hall
"World Lecture Hall [University of Texas] publishes links to pages
created by faculty worldwide who are using the Web to deliver course
materials in any language [and in a wide range of fields]. Some courses
are delivered entirely over the Internet. Others are designed for students
in residence. Many fall somewhere in between, and all can be visited by
anyone interested in courseware on the Internet, faculty developers and
curious students alike. Because World Lecture Hall does not administer the
courses it links to, visitors who want to know more about a specific
course should use the contact information published at that particular
course website." The Editor and Administrator is Martha Morgan.
