Are Black Colleges Catching Up?

Prometheus 6 talks about the eBlack Studies website. Here's how the partners describe it:

eBlack Studies is a project in cyberspace.Its purpose is to provide information for students and scholars in all academic fields     that focus primarily on Africa and the African Diaspora.  Our mission is one stop     shopping for everyone in the field of Africana Studies, especially graduate students, faculty, librarians, departmental webmasters, and interested search engines.

The really cool part about the site though is the fact that they put some 60 hours of video, of The State of Black Studies: Methodology, Pedagogy, and Research online. It's about time Blacks put their knowledge online.

I've never been a big fan of college. It moves too slow for me. I like to learn shit at my own pace and study topics I'm really interested in.

I'm waiting for one of the Black colleges to take the lead and offer a free and open educational resource like MIT (for one) has done. Recently Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health joined MIT in putting every lecture, every handout, every quiz. All online. For free.

If eBlack Studies evolves into that then it would really be cool...
