Free & Useful Online Resources for Educational Content

By Unknown

This post may seem to be out of context. But you can consider it as a review of some websites. Websites that provide free online content for education. For any student it is very essential to get good quality study material. Specially when we talk about Indian students they don't refer authentic material. These free resources might help them get good study stuff at their computers with ease.

So here is the list of websites that provide Free & Useful Resources for Educational Content.
 
The fist website in my list is:

Academic Earth is an organization founded with the goal of giving everyone on earth access to a world-class education.

At Academic Earth, they are working to identify these barriers and find innovative ways to use technology to increase the ease of learning. Know more about Academic Earth by visiting theri website: http://academicearth.org/about

2) NPTEL:

VideoLectures.NET is a free and open access educational video lectures repository.

The portal is aimed at promoting science, exchanging ideas and fostering knowledge sharing by providing high quality didactic contents not only to the scientific community but also to the general public. All lectures, accompanying documents, information and links are systematically selected and classified through the editorial process taking into account also users' comments. 

5) ecorner: 

Stanford University’s Entrepreneurship Corner offers 2000 free videos and podcasts, featuring entrepreneurship and innovation thought leaders.


There are many more such fantastic sites which provide great educational content but I think this list would be more than sufficient. 


Tools for publishing online educational content include Faculte.com, uDemy.com, Videolla.com, LearnOutLoud and LeapingBrain.com.  


Youtube.EDU and iTunes U are general purpose content distribution hubs. 


OERCommons.org is a search engine for open-licensed content. 


Sites like About.com, HubPages, Instructibles, AssociatedContent and eHow collect practical advice on everyday topics.

 
I think this would be sufficient information for everyone to start with. And I hope I did justice with the title.


Enjoy learning!!!

Only a pointer to the file in the file system table is deleted.   It is very important to immediately stop writing to the storage device that previously contained your files/pictures so that the old file contents are not overwritten.  For example, don’t take any more pictures with your digital camera because new pictures will overwrite the deleted files. HOW TO RECOVER DELETED FILES???? Step1: You will need to use a utility to recover your lost files. I like to use a free ut...
