I've just watched two of them (8: Data Structures from SICP & Graph Algorithms from Algorithms) and enjoyed them. The format of the videos is nothing special (camcorder on a tripod at the back of the room), but the teachers are very good, presenting complex subjects clearly. The videos alone seem an excellent reference & resource. The accompanying materials (handouts etc) are sparse but good accompaniments. The courses were taught assuming reference to a textbook, so they're not 100% self-contained.
