What is Academic Earth?
Academic Earth is working to bring together the best available content across many subjects and distribute it in an engaging and useful way to learners worldwide.
-
How many videos are available on Academic Earth?
As of this writing, there are over fifteen hundred videos from MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, Harvard, Princeton, and Yale. We are adding more every day. Some of these are grouped into courses, which each contain anywhere from 4 to 50 lectures.
-
Can I get credit for these courses?
No – but feel free to learn as much as you'd like.
-
Can I download copies of lectures?
Yes, when the "Download" option appears you can download a QuickTime version of the lecture. Just right click on the "Download" link and select "Save Target As…" or the equivalent for your browser.
-
A video is not playing the way I would expect it to – what should I do?
Please submit it using the feedback system buttom in the bottom right corner. If possible, please submit feedback on the page where you ran into the problem or copy the web address of the video into your message. This way we'll know exactly where to go.
-
I am unable to view any of the videos on Academic Earth – why is that?
Unfortunately, our videos are not available in certain areas due to reasons beyond our control; if you are unable to view any or most of our videos, and your software is up to date, it may be due to your location. If you suspect there may be another cause, feel free to contact us using the feedback system button.

I remember seeing a certain lecture on the site, but I cannot find it now. Why is that?
We rarely remove lectures or courses from the site, but occasionally we need to do so due to copyright considerations or special requests from the institutions producing the content. We apologize for the inconvenience this causes when it does happen.
