Do you guys have other good options for learning online to translate? I want to take a course in a different language like Spanish or English.

Hi everyone,

You should check out http://www.goorulearning.org for amazing educational STEM resources from 5th-12th grade! It is free and always will be!

I run a site called http://www.fiveminutelessons.com. It has a lot of free lessons on Excel, plus some on Microsoft Word and Google Analytics. I add content fairly regularly, and am open to suggestions from readers in terms of what to add next.

University of Oxford has launched its Great Writers Inspire Project website (writersinspire.org), which has Creative Commons essays, pictures, ebooks, and audio and video lectures from some of the great minds in literature studies.

Great post and i think a lot off time to make this to this result!

Hi – nice list Jeff – well done, must have taken some time.
Can I just add http://www.freemoodle.org to the thread here – which provides completely free Moodle hosting for any courses that are free for others.
It’s the only free Moodle hosting site that is backed by an official Moodle Partner.
I got frustrated with so many ‘so-called’ Moodle hosting sites (that were usually just a ‘loss leader’ to selling services) and others that were just not professional, or disappeared overnight.
Check-out FreeMoodle.org and read about why this is a very different approach, with unique aims.
Stu 🙂

Thoughts that arise from the blending of original self-knowledge and other forms of consequent experiential knowledge provide the motives to take action to realize them in external tangible form. This is why the best of human thinking begins and ends with how to manifest one’s uniqueness in the world. When you realize the beautiful vision of your heart, of your true Self, you will rise to manifest the greatness of your dominant thoughts in all of your actions……….

Hello,

The Internet is currently providing many useful resources for us to learn.
And some of them imply new methods, other than the traditional ones.
Focusing on learning languages I would like to tell you about a site which is not a source of knowledge in itself but a link or way to get it, to approach it.
No matter what language you are interested in, you will be able to find a native speaker of that language in this website.
Just search for a language partner who suits your preferences, regarding the way you would like to pratice with your partner.

I hope you like it, and it helps you a little bit to learn your favorite/s language/s.

This is the address: http://www.sharinglanguage.com,

best regards and good luck!

I’d like to see http://www.bestcomputertrainingcourses.com/ added to this list.

I strongly agree with the idea of the author in saying that its really difficult for most of our parents to find time for leisure such as reading books and other activities. However, doing this for sometime once you will will help you enhance your capacity to handle or communicate with your kids. Reading books that will advise you on how to approach or manage your children nowadays is really great. There are lots of books which will give you tips so that you can easily guide and go with your kids characters. As today’s new generation is totally different from the past. Through the rapid development of technology, most of the children nowadays are well exposed to computers and latest gadgets. For you to go with their trend and still supervise what they are doing you must also spend time for or enroll yourself in the offered courses online.

This website can serve learners a lot. People can go to more than 100 Free Places to Learn Online. That means, this site alone is enough to serve 100 types of learners.

And if anyone need to learn Mandarin Chinese, I can help to learn perfectly that language.

Thought I’d share this very helpful site. http://alison.com/?signup=1&ref=620678

Another one for the list. Tutorhub is a homework help website, part of which includes a free student peer-to-peer free homework help section called the Common Room. The url is: https://tutorhub.com

These are good but you forgot some I’m sure you could make it to 250 if you kept going.

I certainly believe your list is very effective. You have listed many informational sites or wikis which can help people to find important data fast. Perhaps, you should add http://www.choicehow.com to your list.

I found many further and higher institutions offering free courseware. It is good of course, the bad thing is they do not grand you credit or certification, so you have nothing to put on CV. After long MONTHS! of research i found one further and higher education institution,that was granting certification upon successful assessment or exam from open courses. They do care about students are highly supportive staff and extremely active online community (im studying with them for my diploma now:P ) i found them by accident on one of free courses site, where they were posted as top partners and for small fee cant remember i think it was 20Euro that i paid for assessment they processed that final examination/assessment and after my successful completion awarded me certificate from their institution. I love them! their website is eden-institute.eu for some reason it is down 🙁 , probably upgrading or something , but as i can access my online area 🙂 id say its just upgrade or minor work, so check them out,i cant find that open courseware site that is associated with them,but i can guarantee that if you will write the institute they will assist you, cause their staff are great!

This is a very informative post. I got some valuable information on this site. Thanks for sharing.

I would love to see Virtual Professors added to this list.

I agree with you that the competition among aggregators and the growing influence of the open education movement will drive higher quality over time.

Cool.

Here is another site you may want to consider. Its http://www.BridgeSA.net

Its unique in the sense that the free resources it links you to are more interactive types – audios, TV programs, radios, readers, music, etc.

I should also add a new tutoring collaboration website to the list of open education initiatives http://tutorhub.org

You have included a good list of higher / open education initiatives. I would also add http://beanbaglearning.com – a free resource enabling independent tutors to share learning resources (via creative commons licence) and market their services.

Hi everybody;

I browsed some of the sites from this list and found that there are valuable resource materials here for learning and teaching.

It is so hard not to be overloaded with information. It takes time to look for the one online education site that will provide the specific area where one is interested

Jeff,

What an amazing resource! – And yes, the trick is to figure out ways for users to easily discover and recommend all this content. I think aggregation and ‘digg’ style submission systems provide ways for users to recommend their favorites. Sites like the following, but with an education/learning focus, might provide a valuable way to find what’s relevant to the user:
http://www.newsvine.com/
http://www.nowpublic.com/

I’ve been spending a lot of time exploring these issues and concepts in the world of Drupal (http://drupal.org/). As both a web framework and rapidly growing community, there’s a lot of exploration in development, and the business models around open collaboration and learning.

Here’s a little resource page I constructed awhile ago:

Enjoying the blog!

Wayne–Thanks for dropping by. I’ll check out the WikiEducator offering and encourage others to do so as well.

Ian–Yes, I completely agree. This is a pale shadow, the smallest fraction of what is actually out there–which is most of the point of even undertaking this exercise. The old mantra is that information wants to be free. Learning seems to have the same inclination.

Thanks, Patricia–Heading off to the directory right now!
