    Which sites to use to Get the Best Free Education Online

    LINK:

    Whether you're a student looking for supplemental learning or you're in the workforce but thirsty for knowledge, you don't have to drop thousands of dollars in tuition to enjoy a top-notch education from some of the best schools in the world.

    While most online resources won't grant you a college degree, there's a lot more to the internet than Wikipedia when it comes to learning. Whether you learn best through video or text, want to take a year-long course or just to touch up on a few topics, there are more than a few places online that can give you the full experience. In fact, there are enough that it can get quite overwhelming, so we've rounded up the best resources to make it all a bit more manageable. Here are some of the best places to get an education without ever leaving your computer....


    Khan Academy

    Academic Earth | Online Courses | Academic Video Lectures

    Apple - iTunes U - Learn anything, anywhere, anytime.

    Wikiversity

    TextbookRevolution


    It's also worth noting that a few other universities offer online textbooks, such as Carnegie Mellon's Open Learning Initiative and the Supplemental Resources section of MIT's aforementioned OpenCourseWare (in fact, while OpenCourseWare focuses on video, they have a ton of other resources like online textbooks, lecture notes, and assignments for many of their classes—especially the aforementioned engineering classes they are known for). There doesn't seem to be a large database of which universities offer this, so you may have to search through universities manually (or see whether your chosen video course comes with an online textbook).

    Thanks.

    how about some alternative (ie. non-mainstream) education, check these decent sites:

    medical issues, conspiracy theories, revisionism & co.:
    Code:
    http://www.whale.to/
    critical views on politics around the world:
    Code:
    http://www.globalresearch.ca/
    edit:

    so i got my first negative rep (i never gave such a rep to someone else before, no matter what has been said ) as a present from some mainstream idolatrous coward here on sbi, too afraid to reveal his identity, with the following reasoning:
    This isn't for Educational purposes..This is completely illogical brainwashing bullshit and I don't like it So ... I disapprove.
    you know what they say though: the truth hurts
