MOOC – Massive Open Online Courses
Since I’ve studied in collage — I was looking for sites on the web, in which I could study and learn on my personal time. Presented in the following list are learning sites ordered by the timeline which they were introduced to me:
- Khan Academy – I tend to renew and learn new things from this site, where lectures are being thought, as if you were given a personal lesson. And almost all lectures are pinpointed, and though in clips of 10~12 minutes.
- Coursera – The lectures in coursera usually require you to know the subject which is being lectured, and they pinpoint on subjects that derive from the thought subject.
- OpenStudy – OpenStudy is the best place to ask questions about any thought subject and receive the support in a global community campuses.
Almost every university, and collage in my country got a site of its own. And most of them got plenty of lectures that were loaded to the web.
Though, when the studies are formal, as within these universities and collages:
- Length: Lectures tend to be longer and lengthy so that they fit a semester.
- Language: Another thing is that they usually presented in the country language.
I found wikipedia.org as a very good resource, that sums up a subject. With many focused resources for a subject (history, links and examples about any thought area).
