Learner’s TV
A vast site providing free downloadable video and audio lectures of entire courses from respected academic institutions from around the world including MIT, Stanford and Yale. The site is science-oriented but covers some of the Humanities too, ranging across the fields of Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, Medicine, Management and Accounting, Dentistry, Nursing, Psychology, History, Language courses, Literature, Law, Economics, Philosophy, Astronomy and Political Science. Most of the materials offered are licensed by the respective institutes under a Creative Commons licence. One of the more innovative aspects of Learner’s TV is the provision of animations for certain science subjects to help students visualise difficult or abstract concepts.

Medline Plus
American site providing a wealth of medical and health information from the world’s largest medical library, the National Library of Medicine, including a large selection of videos of surgical procedures showing footage of real operations filmed in hospitals and medical centres across the USA. These are accompanied by downloadable transcripts with surgeons’ notes and observations on the procedures. Other resources include a series of anatomy videos which show the anatomy of body parts and organ systems and use computer graphics and animation to show how they work and how they are affected by diseases.

MoMA Online Communities
The Museum of Modern Art’s online communities page provides links to online collections about art, including MoMA’s own YouTube page.
