Education sites/resources
« on: September 25, 2013, 09:29:01 PM »
This is basically a thread to pool any cool educational sites or resources you find (preferably free ones :P )

Table Of Sites
SiteDescriptionLink
Khan AcademyOnline video lectures on science, maths and computinghttps://www.khanacademy.org
TEDOnline video lectures on just about anything imaginablehttp://www.ted.com
Stack ExchangePortal to lots of Q&A sites ranging from maths to computing to anime (Basically loads of Stack Overflow-like sites)http://stackexchange.com/sites
education-portalFree courses which can earn Americans college credit!http://education-portal.com
CourseraSimilar to the above, although I'm not sure about the college credit part. Coursera are also teamed with universities across the globe, so the courses are wide-ranging and of high qualityhttps://www.coursera.org
NoExcuseListSearch engine specifically for educational sites (may be hard to get results in my experience)http://noexcuselist.com
DuolingoCourses in languages (limited to Spanish, English, German, Portuguese, French and Italian)http://www.duolingo.com
FSI language coursesLanguage courses in most common languageshttp://www.fsi-language-courses.org/Content.php
University of RedditMore informal courses in pretty much anything, but there seems to be an incredibly large focus on Starcraft IIhttp://universityofreddit.com
MemriseBasic courses on loads of stuff, however it seems like a lot of it is just key terms, not actual learninghttp://www.memrise.com/courses/english/

Edit: Added Table and links, but I don't know how to add a border to the table :P

I'll do it when I get back from college, seeing as I am not quite the best at using BB code yet :P
