Scientific American Frontiers is an American television series hosted by Alan Alda and broadcast on PBS. Its site gives the current TV schedule, teaching materials, and a very impressive video archive of past programmes, searchable by topic or keyword. This offers either complete programmes or segments using Real or Windows Media Player, for low or high-band connections, with most having an accompanying transcript where users can click on a particular point in the transcript to access that point in the video. Topics covered include archaeology, astronomy, biology/nature, chemistry/physics, computers/technology, earth science, engineering/mathematics, medicine/health, and psychology/cognitive science. Some have links to PBS web features, teaching guides etc.

The site is clearly arranged and described, and is categorised under Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Computing Science, Culture, Economics, Environment, Health/Medicine, Literature, Music, Philosophy, Physics, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology.
Site dedicated to psychologist and behavioural scientist B.F. Skinner. The Foundation exists "to educate the public about B.F. Skinner’s work, and to promote an understanding of the role of contingencies in human behavior". The site used to include a 67-minute audio file (using Real Player) of a presentation by Skinner, ‘On Having a Poem’, which discusses verbal behaviour from a behaviour analytic perspective and the criticisms of that position. At present (2009) this is no longer available though small video files are steadily being added.
