This website is the project of the 3DXM Consortium, an international group of mathematicians who have used the software 3D-XplorMath to create a gallery of surfaces and shapes in two and three dimensions. These include plane curves, fractals, space curves, spherical surfaces, polyhedra, non-orientable surfaces such as the Moebius Strip and Klein Bottle, conformal maps and algebraic curves. There are also notes in PDF format, examples of mathematical art and a number of moving image files, showing, for example, the development of fractal curves such as Koch’s Snowflake Curve

A vast and useful 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.

ScienceStage.com has the stated aim of being "the universal online portal for science, advanced teaching, and research’. It allows scientists, lecturers, academics, students, and practitioners from all fields to present and share ideas and findings through video streaming, audio streaming, and text documents, and to make use of community functions such as chat, email, and blogs. Video and audio clips - lectures, interviews and documentaries - come from a wide variety of sources and are accessible for free streaming via a good subject index, although very prominent advertising is at times a distraction.

To celebrate the range of scientific issues discussed during the Royal Society’s 350th anniversary year the Science Sees Further website has been set up. It offers all those interested in science an opportunity to look at the key scientific issues of today, and those of tomorrow. The site is arranged in 12 chapters based on the subjects of the year’s discussion meetings - the ageing process, biological diversity, cognition and computation, cultural diversity, extra-terrestrial life, geoengineering, global sustainability, greenhouse gases, new vaccines, stem cell biology, uncertainty in science, and web science. Each section comprises an attractive subject summary (authored by the meeting organisers), short historical context using material from the Society’s Centre for History of Science, as well as interactive audio and video material.

The complete archive of BBC/OU programmes broadcast on Radio 4 from 2003 onwards is permanently available on the More or Less series website. Each programme takes one or two topical news items and analyses the relevant data from a mathematical point of view, looking at the statistics behind the issues and the claims made about them. As usual, more recent programmes in the series are also available via the BBC i-player or as podcasts.

The website accompanying the BBC Radio 4 series In Our Time, in which Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the history of ideas, has been redesigned, and the Archive section now makes every episode broadcast since the series began in 1998 available to listen to again via RealPlayer. Programmes are searchable by title, genre (culture, history, philosophy, religion, science) and by era, from prehistoric to 20th century. Recent programmes are available as podcasts, and an e-mail newsletter gives Melvyn Bragg’s personal insight into the latest programme.

The Open University has launched a YouTube channel featuring over 300 videos, with educational content in the OULearn section and videos from staff, students and alumni in the OULife section. OU Learn showcases extracts of video learning materials from Open University courses and television broadcasts, covering languages, arts & humanities, and science. OULife contains video blogs, graduation ceremonies, etc uploaded by OU staff and students. A Youtube research channel is planned for launch in 2009. OU educational resources are also available for download as free audio or video podcasts on the OU section of iTunesU and on the beta site OU podcast site

Gresham College, named after Sir Thomas Gresham, has been giving free lectures for some 400 years. Over 2,000 audio and/or video lectures given since 2001 are available on the site for free, on-demand streaming or download approximately two weeks after they have been given. The main subject areas are Art & Literature, Medical Science, Business, History, Law, Mathematics, Music, Politics, Religion, Science, and Unusual, which includes Media, Education, Climate Change and others. Results can also be filtered by subcategories. For example, there is a section on Film under the Arts & Literature category, and a section on Film Music under the Music category. The lectures last, on average, between 25 minutes and a little under an hour. They all have a good number of chapters and a fair amount of information is given on the site as well as transcripts and links to related materials.
The content can also be browsed via the tab Watch which contains four groupings: All Past Lectures, Series, Shorts and Short Series.
