Open Culture boasts that it offers "the best free cultural & educational media on the web" and their site does a lot to live up to that claim, providing access to a large number of free educational resources, including online courses, language lessons, films and audiobooks. More than simply a list of links, Open Culture is divided into various sections which provide users with a variety of different approaches to navigating the web’s cultural and educational resources, such as a section called 125 Great Science Videos, which is a selective list of films, sub-divided into narrower scientific headings such as Technology & Mathematics, Environment, Geology and & Ecology, Physics, Astronomy & Space Travel etc. Another useful section of the site is a round-up of Intelligent YouTube Channels, which does a good job of sorting the wheat from the chaff and includes a list of universities which have collections of material on YouTube, offering brief comments on each site.

The JISC-funded Enlightening Science Project at the University of Sussex was established to create a unique educational resource to inform and engage scholars, students and the wider public interested in the core concepts behind Newton’s scientific achievements. The core of the work will be the creation of a number of Virtual Learning Objects freely available to the public. Each Learning Object will explore a specific Newtonian topic, such as: Science and Religion, Newton’s Optics, Newton’s Physics, Newton the Man, and Newtonian Audiences. They will contain a selection of historical texts, interviews with scientists and historians, audio and video podcast introductions, as well as video recreations of eighteenth century experiments and lectures, with the aim of bringing Newton’s scientific works to life for 21st century audiences.
