Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the archive of math lectures available at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs (UCCS). Participants share their experiences accessing the site, suggest workarounds for registration issues, and discuss the quality of the lecture delivery methods. The scope includes practical access to educational resources and subjective opinions on lecture formats.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants express gratitude for the link to the UCCS math lecture archive and share tips for bypassing registration requirements.
  • Others report successful access to the site and downloading of lecture series, while some experience difficulties with the links not opening.
  • There are suggestions for alternative resources, such as learnerstv.com, with comments on the speed of the site and strategies for downloading content.
  • A participant humorously attributes slow site performance to their own downloading activities, while also noting that once a connection is established, the site loads quickly.
  • Opinions vary on the lecture delivery style, with some preferring traditional black/white-board methods over the projected computer screen format used in newer lectures.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally share experiences and tips regarding the UCCS archive, but there are mixed reports on access issues and preferences for lecture styles, indicating a lack of consensus on the best approach to accessing and enjoying the content.

Contextual Notes

Thanks to RedX for this amazing link to the archive of Math lectures at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs (UCCS):

http://www.uccs.edu/~math/vidarchive.html

They are in MOV format and access requires free registration.

However, if you click on a course link and it asks for your login, try adding this to the end of the url:
Code:
/archive.php?type=valid

I think it will bypass the registration. Give it a try!

I've been trying to get past the bypass for a long time. Thanks!

I have just downloaded 5 whole lecture series in the last 2 days. All the links are working fine for me.

Your other site seems to be an interesting collection of videos from other places. However, it doesn't do a very good job of telling you where they came from (eg. many are MIT-OCW).

http://www.learnerstv.com

The site can be very slow at times. So I'd suggest clicking on it, then walk out of the room and do something else, and when you come back later, it should be on the next page. Click on the next page, walk out again, etc. Once you get to the page where you can finally download, then save a couple of lectures on your computer, and walk out while it's downloading. Once it's saved on your computer then there is no wait.
 
Good link! Thanks.

That is because I am taking all the bandwidth downloading videos :-P

Just joking. It seems like the page requests can take a while but, once a connection is made, everything loads at full speed.



An aside:
Although I haven't had a chance to watch many of them yet, I find the lecture style where they are writing on a projected computer screen all the time kind of lame. The older ones with an old-style black/white-board seem better to me.
