Education is changing. Quickly, drastically and for the better. It is changing at all levels too. Preschool children know how to use their parents tablet computers. Primary and secondary school students now have an inexhaustible catalogue of information at their fingertips should their curiosity be triggered thanks to the internet. Anyone can now learn anything. In the last 2 years there have been a number of startups that are successfully disrupting education. These guys are providing the best content and offering a very personalised experience, which is gaining a lot of traction, especially in higher education as often these courses are cheap and most of the time free. The following sites are the best sites I have come across. Happy learning.
It would be rude to leave out youtube as a lot of the other sites listed below have their own channels.
A superb site. I did the How to Build a Startup course by Steve Blank and found it to be amazing. Short videos are used to break up the teachings. Very clean visuals and use of sketches. A wonderful site and amazing course.
Coursera offers programmes from some of the worlds most prestigious universities. It also has a great collection and you can even gain a certificate from some of the tracks.
Another great site similar to Coursera. Offers a variety of courses from sciences to languages.
If you wanted to get started with coding this is the place to start. I did the PHP course and found it very intuitive. All the resources you need to code are on the one page for each lesson. It breaks each part down really well too.
This is one of the best sites around. Although you have to pay for some of the classes, they post a number of them on their youtube page for free. It is really focussed towards startups and have some industry experts providing the teachings.
Skillshare is a paid website with a twist. It enables anyone, who is an expert in their field, give lessons online and offline. Very similar to General Assembly in the fact that their lessons are focussed towards startups.
