The web design lectures list

Recently I’ve started listening to mp3s of web design and development lectures on the way to work. So far I’ve gravitated towards conference lectures, but there are several universities that publicly post not only lecture slides but also audio and video.

After doing some quick research, it seems there is no definitive list of these kind of resources already out there. So the idea with this post is to provide a list of links to said resources with either audio or video available to download, as well as the accompanying slides where possible. Although the list is short right now, I expect it to lengthen with time.

I have also included a few useful podcasts at the end but I don’t know if I’ll keep those links around as the list at The Web Design Podcast Library, Digital Realm already seems pretty comprehensive.
