The Ask OLLI blog is a resource for Osher Lifelong Learning Institute administrators to facilitate discussion on a variety of topics related to the creation and management of OLLI institutes nationwide.

Entries to the blog are called "posts" and can only be submitted by blog editors. Please contact Anne Cardale at the OLLI National Resource Center if you have an article suggestion for the AskOLLI editors.

Each post has a "comment" section where blog subscribers can submit their own remarks and responses to the post. A subscriber must be logged in to comment on a post. A login link is available at the bottom of the right-hand column, as well as at the end of each posting page.

Although the Ask OLLI blog is publicly viewable, commenting is closed to non-subscribers. For more information on Ask OLLI, or if you wish to create a subscriber account please contact Anne Cardale.

Online Lectures

Posted on March 23rd, 2009 by Julia Ridge, OLLI National Resource Center

Thom Clement, OLLI at George Mason University, asks OLLI

How do other OLLIs gain and/or provide access to online lectures for members?  Are there good web sites with links to lectures on a wide variety of topics?  What costs are associated? Are any OLLI’s using these as a basis for classroom presentations, or are they made available for individual use?
