About the project

Open Lecture Hall is a small, independent project that organizes openly licensed university lectures into an easy-to-browse library.

What we do

Universities publish thousands of hours of excellent teaching, but it is scattered across course pages and video archives. We select complete lecture series, write a short page for each lecture with a summary and a still image, and link straight to the original recording.

What we do not do

We do not host videos, sell courses, run ads or collect personal data. Every lecture belongs to its university and is available for free on the original site.

Who it is for

Independent learners, students who want a second explanation, teachers looking for material and anyone curious about a subject.

Independence

We are not affiliated with or endorsed by MIT or any other university. Course names and descriptions are used under the terms of their open licenses; see Licenses & credits.
