This website offers free tutorials aimed at helping those in Higher Education develop Internet research skills. The site includes three online tutorials created in conjunction with JISC Digital Media, designed to help students, teachers and support staff to find, evaluate and use still images, audio, and video and moving image material, considering in the process questions of copyright and licensing, as well as more technical/practical questions of usage and application and also giving pointers to sites which provide content with the education sector in mind, such as itunes U. In addition to the general tutorials, users can search for tutorials tailored to their particular subject.

94 Elements is a global filmmaking project, exploring our lives through the lens of the elements. Users can submit their own films dedicated to Elements (so far there are five) and Compounds. The next stage of the project will use live data from across the web to "create a range of interactive tools and visualisations exploring our use and exploitation of the elements".

The UK Web Archive is based at the British Library. It collects, makes accessible and preserves web resources of scholarly and cultural importance from the UK domain. As of February 2012 nearly 10,000 websites have been archived there. Contributors to the UK Web Archive seek permission from the website owner for every website it archives, despite this being costly and time-consuming. Users can see how a website has evolved over time by accessing the snapshots ("instances") that the archive takes at regular intervals. The archive is free to view, accessed directly from the Web itself and, since archiving began in 2004, has continued to grow at a rate of several hundred per month. Sites can be searched by name and category and viewed in a number of dynamic visualisations including N-grams, tag clouds and 3-D walls. Users can also nominate sites for inclusion.

The Open University online library catalogue contains details of the whole range of resources produced to support OU courses since they began in 1971. By using the "Format" drop-down menu on the advanced search screen of the Library Catalogue link it is possible to find all the audio, video or computer materials produced for courses in a particular subject area. Entries are quite detailed in the amount of content information they give. Print and audio-visual materials from modules currently offered by the Open University are available to browse in the Library, and archive materials from discontinued modules are available to view by appointment. The OpenLearn website gives free online access to some OU teaching materials.

The Association Science & Télévision (AST) is a group of independent producers working for 37 different production companies based in France. These companies produce films in all genres but a large portion of their output is devoted to scientific productions. Together, they produce the vast majority of scientific programming broadcast on television in France, much of which also circulates abroad. The website (in French and English versions) gives details of the member companies and the association’s activities, together with a catalogue of the films they have produced (searchable by title or producer), with links to the producer’s site for further filmographic information.

RadioListings is an episode guide to the speech based programmes broadcast by the BBC, compiled by enthusiast Paul Wells. There are details for some musical programmes, and some listings for other stations, but the main focus is on scripted speech. Currently there are details for over 33,000 programmes, from 1949 to the present day, though the bulk are from 1997 onwards when the BBC put its schedules online. The main index by the programme name but more limited searching is also possible by credits and date of broadcast. The database is updated weekly and revised daily. The majority of data is obtained via a feed from the BBC and this is supplemented by information from other sources.

In May 2016 the Open University Worldwide online store posted the following:
"Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the “Good Study Guide”, and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice."
