This sister site to MIT World offers a vast array of educational content from the courses run at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology including lecture notes, readings and other study materials. By the end of 2007 it Had set itself the aim to have practically all its course materials online although this has proved hard to sustain. The courses range from Chemistry, Economics, History, Literature and Physics and these can be downloaded as zip files.

Produced by the University of Virginia’s Department of Computer Science, this celebrated site uses data from the Internet Movie Database to show the degrees of separation between any screen actor and Kevin Bacon. The site is a demonstration of some fundamental principles of computer science and mathematics, as well as being an illuminating illustration of the spread of world cinema, and great fun. So, for example, Mary Pickford has a Bacon number of 3: she was in Hollywood Hobbies (1939) with William ‘Billy’ Benedict, William ‘Billy’ Benedict was in Farewell, My Lovely (1975) with Sylvester Stallone, Sylvester Stallone was in Dolan’s Cadillac (2002) with Kevin Bacon.

A service funded, until July 2011, by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) for accessing Internet resources for learning and teaching communities in the UK. Organised into 19 gateways covering Science and Technology, Arts and Humanities, Social Sciences, and Health and Life Sciences. Previously known as the Resource Discovery Network. NB Intute closed in July 2011 and the site has now been archived. No further resources are being added and no changes are being made to existing content, so the resource will increasingly become less useful and reliable.

Three series of podcasts: ‘Science Talk’ is a weekly audio report by Steve Mirsky discussing the latest developments in science and technology through interviews with leading scientists and journalists. The service began in February 2006 and is available by podcast or online download. ‘60-Second Science’ is a daily, one-minute report or commentary on a topic of scientific interest. ‘60-Second Psych’ is a weekly, one-minute commentary on the latest studies in neuroscience and behaviour, which is issued each Thursday.

The IET is one of the world’s largest engineering institutions with over 168,000 members in 150 countries. The site offers free teaching resources and classroom activities for students aged 11-19 years including lesson plans, handouts and film clips. To gain access to the downloadable-free content you need to register, and to access all the resources which include video clips you need to filter by ‘video’. The content can also be searched by subject, exam board, key stage and age range. Subjects include Biology, Chemistry, Computing, Maths, Physics and D&T.

Despite a perhaps unfortunate sounding acronym, the EEVL Gateway has developed greatly in the last six years. Originally just covering Engineering, in addition it now also provides a wealth of information on Mathematics and Computing, mainly through its Internet Resource Catalogue, a collection of over 9,000 descriptions and links to quality Internet web sites. The service is run by Heriot-Watt University, Cranfield University, the University of Birmingham and the University of Ulster. The site provides engines to search for new articles, events, advances in manufacturing and even a section on job availability.
This site is no longer active, but the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine offers a capture of the website as it appeared on 16/07/2017. This does not include access to the moving images.

Part of the Internet Archive, which also covers archived moving images (The Internet Moving Images Archive), audio and software, the Wayback Machine holds cached versions of thousands of websites and billions of pages, allowing users to look at sites that are no longer available or at earlier versions of ones that are still around. An invaluable resource that, due to the gigantic nature of the holdings, is slightly hampered by the fact that no list of the holdings can be easily provided. This means inevitably that correct recall of the URL in question is necessary, or failing that, searching for it on the web first.
