In the days of internet, it is much easier for people to get educational materials than before. Those who cannot afford to go to Oxford or Harvard can now view course materials, videos, and podcasts to learn what is taught and discussed in the classrooms of those top dog universities. There are a few websites which aggregate such best online courses, but I'm afraid that none of them can do better than FreeVideoLectures.
As a free to use site, FreeVideoLectures has a great expectation as its motto saying: "to organize the world's educational videos and make them universally accessible and down-loadable". FreeVideoLectures offers more than 700 free online video courses which are collected from 25+ top level universities on 30+ subjects.
To use FreeVideoLectures is so easy. All video courses are categorized there according to subjects and universities they belong to. The subjects mentioned above include the common and traditional ones like History, Economics, and Anatomy, as well as some new and update ones like Web Designing, Signals Systems, and IC Design. You can click each subject in FreeVideoLectures to find related video courses that you might feel interested in.
Almost all the videos of FreeVideoLectures are embedded from third-party sources, one of which is YouTube. Some videos also have download links, so that they can be downloaded to your PC. Moreover, you can share the videos to Facebook, twitter or other social networking sites, embed them, or subscribe to their RSS feed. When you are watching the video online, you can toggle "Lights Off" to make yourself focusing on the lecture.
There are two ways to search through the archives of FreeVideoLectures. You can use the Google custom search bar on the pages, or through the Courses List. You also can find courses by Subject, Institute, Course Name and Professors.
The simple and user-friendly interface of FreeVideoLectures has made the site one of the most useful aggregators of video lectures. The site is a greatest tool for people who wants to learn some real knowledge.
