A professor at Yale teaches a pretty cool class called "http://oyc.yale.edu/english/american-novel-since-1945/content/downloads.html". As the title suggests, it focuses on readings of American novelists since 1945. I've watched a few of the classes, and they're pretty cool. It's available for free online, and you can download it via iTunes U if you want to watch it in iTunes or on an iPod.

This seems pretty interesting. Will download and add feedback on a later date. Are there other professors/universities offering similar free online lectures? And if so, how do I go about finding credible ones?

i stumbled upon itunes U not that long ago and was amazed at all the content. you can basically take a whole class at yale or other big name colleges for free just downloading the lectures on itunes. it's insane. lots of interesting classes.
might have to check this one out.

No, haven't had time. I haven't perused iTunes U that much -- I stumbled across this and checked out a few other things, but haven't had time to take a detailed look.
