Open Yale Courses is an educational initiative by Yale University aimed at providing free and open access to a selection of introductory courses taught by distinguished teachers and scholars at the university.

Each course includes video lectures recorded in Yale classrooms, transcripts of the lectures, suggested readings, and problem sets. These materials are available without any registration, offering a unique opportunity for self-paced learning to individuals around the world.
History[edit | edit source]
