Taken from the Blog MISSION TO LEARN
Here you are provided with a very extensive list of interesting sites on any topic.
I hope you like them!
Meaning of the letters within brackets:
T – Text-based offerings (usually with still graphics)
A – Audio without Video
V – Video offerings
I – Interactive
C – Offered as customer education, i.e. part of a corporate marketing strategy or as a way to promote sales of other products.
Tutorial, How-to, and Aggregation Sites
There are starting to be quite a lot of these sites and you have to wonder just how many can manage to stay in business. Still, I think a probable upside of all the competition for free online learning will be an increase in expectations and the resulting quality of the offerings.

“Big Idea” and Debate Sites
Big Think is the newest entrant here. I am sure there are other sites like this that I don’t yet know about. These are places where you can see some of your favorite gurus being gurus and add your two cents.
Higher, Continuing or Open Education
This list won’t come close to doing justice to what is going on out there in the world of open education, but suffice to say that between universities, NGOs, and foundation funded projects, there is practically nothing that you can’t learn online for free, and in many cases, take the underlying intellectual property and re-configure it to your own needs under an Creative Commons or other “copyleft” license.
