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 and the Mandelbrot Set

Beta version of website which is the result of a collaboration between The Royal Society of Chemistry and Pfizer. Discover Maths for Chemists is the first of several planned resources aimed at addressing the skills gap within the chemical industry and helping graduates master the maths skills they will need to succeed in the industry. The site features interactive quizzes, a video tutorial to get new users started, and video lectures, such as this one on the division of complex numbers. The site can be navigated via a 'Compass’ function which is designed to guide the user through mathematical and chemical concepts and reveal how they can be linked.

Coursera describes itself as a "social entrepreneurship company that partners with the top universities in the world to offer courses online for anyone to take, for free". Among the institutions offering courses are Stanford, the University of Pennsylvania, University of California, Berkeley and the University of Toronto. More recently the University of California, San Francisco, Edinburgh University and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne have joined up to contribute to a list of 116 courses across sixteen categories including computer science, biology, education, literature, medicine, economics, mathematics and other disciplines. None of the classes counts as credit towards degrees at the participating institutions but students do receive certificates for completing their studies. The site includes a pedagogy page which explains the pedagogical foundations on which the platform is built, detailing its extensive use of interactive exercises, quizzes and ‘mastery learning’.

Open Culture boasts that it offers "the best free cultural & educational media on the web" and their site does a lot to live up to that claim, providing access to a large number of free educational resources, including online courses, language lessons, films and audiobooks. More than simply a list of links, Open Culture is divided into various sections which provide users with a variety of different approaches to navigating the web’s cultural and educational resources, such as a section called 125 Great Science Videos, which is a selective list of films, sub-divided into narrower scientific headings such as Technology & Mathematics, Environment, Geology and & Ecology, Physics, Astronomy & Space Travel etc. Another useful section of the site is a round-up of Intelligent YouTube Channels, which does a good job of sorting the wheat from the chaff and includes a list of universities which have collections of material on YouTube, offering brief comments on each site.

One of the internet’s primary science web portals featuring articles and videos on a wide spectrum of scientific subjects including mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, computer science and biology as well as geology, palaeontology and archaeology. The articles and accompanying audiovisual material are selected from news releases submitted by universities and other research institutions and some are written by Science Daily staff. The large amount of material on offer can make browsing daunting, but subjects are divided into nine broad categories, which are then further divided into sets of narrower terms to facilitate focused searching.

The Faculties provides free, short videos/podcasts of university lecturers speaking on topics that are covered in the A-level curriculum of all the major exam boards. In bringing the expertise of research scholars into the classroom, the aim is to stretch and challenge students, help them excel in their assessments, inspire deeper learning, and smooth the transition from school to university. There are discipline-specific sites for maths, English, biology, chemistry, history and psychology. Some of the videos also provide guidance on choosing a university department that’s right for the individual student and shows them what sort of careers might follow a degree in that discipline.
