A beautifully designed site presenting videos, animations and graphics designed to give students an understanding of the underlying concepts on which the rules of mathematics are based. The videos are aimed at K12 (the US equivalent of A Level) and undergraduate maths students and consists of four sections: Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Topology and Infinite Series. Each section contains a number of videos: for example, the Pre-Algebra page presents thirty animations, each about ten minutes long, beginning with The Dawn of Numbers and taking in Factoring, Exponentiation, Irrational Numbers and Real Numbers, amongst others, along the way. The aim is to provide conceptual understanding, rather than help with specific problem solving, so this would be a good resource to use in conjunction with other teaching materials.

This website delivers thousands of free academic and educational multimedia content, including videos, animations and simulations. The site’s strengths are in Mathematics and the Sciences, but also cover History, Economics, English and Religion. The videos on the site are aggregated from other American educational collections (including the Khan Academy) and arranged by broad subject areas which are then subdivided into narrower concepts, and laid out on the page in a logical and easy to follow screen display. It is slightly frustrating that there is little contextual information associated with the videos, in the form of descriptions, contributors, and other useful metadata. It is also not possible to click through to view the video on its original home page. Nonetheless, worth visiting for the range and quality of material available.

Run by students, for students at the University of York, YSTV, produces a wide range of live and pre-recorded programmes, including news programmes, quiz shows and sitcoms, coverage of events on campus, and interviews with bands, politicians and celebrities. Material with a more academic outlook includes the series Past to Present, which looks at the history of York, and the Maths Society Lectures page. A small selection of digitised clips from the station’s Archives offers an interesting look at the history of YSTV, which dates back to the 1970s.

This free online resources specialises in the sciences and medical humanities and produces a range of podcasts aimed at both a general and specialised audience. The site hosts the following weekly podcasts: Math/Maths - a weekly conversation between a British and an American mathematician - Strange Quarks, which looks at science and politics as well as the stranger fringes of pseudoscience, and the Pulse Project, which is a round-up of the latest science news. Elsewhere on the site there are Videos and Lectures and the online audio encyclopedia Expert Explanations, which is aimed at undergraduates and gives four to eight minute introductions to key terms and theories in the medical humanities and sciences.

The Perimeter Institute is a centre for scientific research, training and educational outreach in foundational theoretical physics, based in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Since 2007 the institute has been creating video recordings of its seminars, conference talks and outreach events and making them freely available on its website. Each video is accompanied by an abstract and classified according to its speaker and research area. Subjects include condensed matter, quantum fields and strings, mathematical physics, quantum gravity and cosmology. The seminars are also available to view on the PIRSA or Perimeter Institute Recorded Seminar Archive: a ‘a permanent, free, searchable, and citable archive of recorded seminars’. The seminars here are available in Windows Media, Flash, MP3, and PDF of slide or presentation materials.

A website featuring short films about science, made by schoolchildren, teachers, scientists, students and researchers. The project was originally inspired by a desire to explore what ‘public service children’s media’ might look like in the Web 2.0 world, together with a sense that science and engineering lend themselves particularly well to practical, accessible filmmaking. The films can be searched according to eight broad subjects (Biology, Careers, Chemistry, Earth Sciences & Environment, Engineering, Maths, Miscellaneous and Physics) and by Type (Documentary, Experiment, Explanation etc.). The site is still fully available but appears not to have been updated since 2012.

GEOSET (Global Educational Outreach for Science, Engineering and Technology) is a freely accessible, searchable internet gateway to a selection of SET and related educational materials. Most of the videos take the form of ‘concept modules’ - rather than whole lectures or courses - focused on specific topics, in the form of split-screen presentations, in which the video of the presenter is in one window and the educational material synchronised and presented in a second window. GEOSET also links to other major sources of educational material such as at the Vega archive site and the Royal Society. Users can filter by age suitability, type of video, and subject.
