I just wish they offered something earlier, I lose interest after about 1500. Game Theory, however, looks interesting.

I've been intrigued by the Introduction to Ancient Greek History CLCV205 but although I can get it unpacked I stumble because it wants Flash or Quicktime, both of which are now unsupported software.

How are others seeing their lessons? Any hints...

@Nigel - are you using Google Chrome? I had no issue unpacking that zip file.

yes, Chrome. I got it unpacked OK but when I try to click on the lecture is when I get stuck.

Nigel, I use Chrome a lot and sometimes run into a website requiring Flash. I click on the small lock icon immediately to the left of the URL, and I get a pop-up block where I have the option to allow Flash.

I haven't tried to watch any of the Yale lectures, though.

Brad, I took a game theory class in grad school. It was very interesting.

I know I sound like a broken record, but I enjoyed the Roman Architecture course so much that I've scuttled my Loire Valley/Extremadura of Spain vacation plans, and now I'm working on a trip to Naples, Pompeii, et al - maybe even back to Rome!

Interesting that the Yale course (see the OP) starts with French history from 1871 to the present; and we've recently had a topic posted noting that this year is the 150th year since the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71.

@Kent -- yes, it's as though it was what was going on in 1870 set the stage for the modern structure of European relations (to put it diplomatically).
