Self Education Just another student 11/09/14 (Sun) 05:32:02 No.74

I found this board and because of its stand on self improvement and motivation and thought you might be interested in the board I made.

>>>/teach/

its focus is on self teaching. I'm trying to add more resources to it and always looking for feedback.

Why not just make a general thread here instead of a separate board? You'd get all the /alpha/ traffic and there would potentially be a really active thread to seed /alpha/. We'd both win.

Also, both /alpha/ and /teach/ could stay active enough to survive. You could always split later if one or both boards become active enough.

IN that case lets talk educational websites.

Khan Academy is a non-profit educational organization created in 2006 by educator Salman Khan to provide "a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere." Its website features thousands of educational resources, including a personalized learning dashboard, over 100,000 practice problems, and over 6,000 micro lectures via video tutorials stored on YouTube teaching mathematics, history, healthcare, medicine, finance, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, cosmology, American civics, art history, economics, music, and computer science. All resources are available for free to anyone around the world. By 2013, they were used by about 10 million students per month. Khan Academy's micro lectures have been watched over 468 million times.

>Personal note: I highly recommend this if you want to improve on your math.

Also if you want to learn Microsoft office, this site has video tutorials on both older and newer versions of Office. These are the programs used by most big companies so knowing your way around them is key. Some of them are just really handy. Excel spreadsheet is a godsend when you know how to use it.

I love Coursera (https://www.coursera.org/) for almost any topic. They have a good Android app too, and here is a nice Python script for downloading whole courses to watch offline: https://github.com/dgorissen/coursera-dl

I've taken a Coursera course before and it was pretty decent. It was a data science class that was put together by Johns Hopkins University, which is serious business because of all the data-driven research they do.

1. iTunes has a particularly great catalog of free university courses.

2. TTC courses are usualy decent. The "other" video section on tpb is full of them.

3. Udemy is also decent, but definitely more cluttered with yoga instructional escapism

4. I almost went through a full semester of History of the English language by loitering in the classroom after my class finished.

Loiter hard my friends
