Free Education
This section is designed to help people easily find free online educational resources including audio/video lectures for academic courses, public lectures and events, and other educational materials. This section is conceptually subdivided into two parts: Audio/video Courses, Public Lectures and Events. The Audio/video Courses is well-categorized with academic subjects containing biology, chemistry, computer science, electronics, history, law, political science and physics. And the Public Lectures and Events contains many links to sites that provide free on-demand webcasts of public lectures, seminars and symposiums on current world issues, the latest discoveries in science and technology, humanities, and management.
