First site that has a great listing of 200 Free Online Classes to Learn Anything is from the Online Education Database website. This is a great resource if you are looking to learn something from Natural Science, Math, Engineering and Computer Science, Language, Arts & Design, Health, Agriculture & Veterinary Medicine, Law & Politics, Social Science, History, Theology, Business & Finance, Family & Education, plus more. You have to love the online world when you can get some much education, as a free simple download.
Also from Online Education Database I found another great page containing the Top 100 Open Courseware Projects. They break down the list into sections, check out which ever you are interested in : Agriculture , Arts , Architecture , Archaeology , Audio & Video , Biology , Botany , Chemistry , Civil Engineering , Economics , Electronic Engineering , General Engineering , Earth Sciences , Geography & Geology , History , Languages & Linguistics , Law , Literature , Mechanical Engineering , Paleontology , Physics , Political Science , Psychology and Social Sciences.
Seems Online Education Database is a awesome resource on its own, maybe I should just make the whole post about them =) another great page I found on there site is 236 Open Courseware Collections, Podcasts, and Videos find subjects on Archives , Broadcast Learning , Directories & Searches , eBooks & eTexts , Encyclopedias , Open Courseware - University , Open Courseware , Podcasts - University , Podcasts - Other , Research , Videos - Universities , Videos - Other , Video, Directories & Searches.
Now lets finally leave OED and go onto some other great resources. This next one is I believe 1 of the first big ones out from the smart people over at MIT. Check out MITOPENCOURSEWARE website where you will find thousands of full courseware downloads from tonnes of different subjects. Here is a quick link to all 1800 courses they offer, and a quote from there front page :
MIT is committed to advancing education and discovery through knowledge open to everyone. OCW shares free lecture notes, exams, and other resources from more than 1800 courses spanning MIT’s entire curriculum.
Lastly is the OpenLearningInitiative from Carnegie Mellon. Although not as huge as the others, it is a good resource for introductory College level courses. A quote from there front page :
How theory, strategies, and methods from the learning sciences are applied to the design of open learning environments and how the use and evaluation of those environments inform the learning sciences.
