Free Computer Science courses online
I found out there is a video lecture series to go along with my new book The Algorithm Design Manual. The audio level is really low, but I think it will complement my book reading nicely. There are also lecture notes and homework assignments. It also turns out MIT has a huge collection of free courses online. Not all of them have video though. I listed some interesting Computer Science related courses with video below. After more searching, I found UC Berkeley also has a number of free courses online, including four Computer Science courses with video. The final source I found was ArsDigita University. They have a good number of Computer Science video lectures as well, but I had a hard time connecting. Let me know if I am missing other good sources.
Update 2009-7-8: I've updated the list to include Stanford's online courses. They have 3 Introduction to Computer Science courses with video lectures and 3 Artificial Intelligence courses with video lectures.

Just thought I'd drop you a note, BY FAR the best video lectures site on the net is http://videolectures.net/, their lectures for algorithms, data structures, machine learning and other advanced CS topics is unmatched. In machine learning particularly, they have lectures and workshops from ALL the top people in the field.
Best of luck with your self education!

Nathan, Thanks for the feedback. http://videolectures.net seems to be a very comprehensive site. I will have to explore this further in the future.
You can also watch free online video lectures at www.vutube.edu.pk.The www.vutube.edu.pk website which developed for the students to watch online video lectures of Business Administration, Computer Science and many other subjects.
On www.vutube.edu.pk students and professionals can watch more than six thousand video lectures of Business Administration, Accounting, Auditing, Banking, Computer Science, Economics, English, Ethics, Finance, HRM, Islamic Studies, Information Technology, Mass Communication, Management, Marketing, Math, Pakistan Studies, Physics, International Relations, Psychology, Sociology and Statistics.
Nowadys, we cannot imagine a single moment without computer science. Therefore, every people must have a knowledge about computer. As the cost of computer course is very high and so many people cannot learn anything about computer science.At present, we found many online colleges, universities, educational institute like123writings, organizations etc provide free training of computer courses on the internet.Here you have mentioned some exceptional free resources to get admitted in free online computer course. It is really helpful for the people. Thank you for sharing.
