Dear Ms. Harland:
I am the math guy for the Bard Prison Initiative, which is a privately-funded prison higher education program in NY. We have a lot of students in need of math remediation, and your videos are among the best I have seen. Unfortunately, while the prison schools do have computer labs, the inmates have no access to the internet and will not have it in the foreseeable future.
Would you be willing to make your videos available to us in downloadable form, or on some portable medium, so that we can install them on hard drives? We have not had much success with You Tube downloader utitilities, or we would not be asking.
Here is a link to the BPI website:
and a link to a "60 Minutes" segment on BPI:
