Yes, this has been one of the best "upsides" of the internet. I am lucky to be able to attend an excellent university here in Adelaide, but we are a long way from Europe or USA and it's nice to feel part of the wider academic world. Despite the best efforts of our education system it can still be hard for someone living in a tiny country town to get the same education as their city counterpart. (and of course some of the small country towns in Australia can be very remote, 300 km or more to any even moderate size town!). A huge thanks to the universities who provide this content.
