Free Learning resources.


    I started to miss my profession and study right after I came in US, but at that time I knew nothing here, included language. With time I started to collect some information about different learning resources and now, when I can understand biggest part of any speech\text, I can enjoy the studying process again. It takes just couple hours of day and makes me much happier and reacher ;). 
    If you want to become smarter or just want to know something new, or have some topic which have been bother you for a while, but you didn’t have a chance to find out about this properly, you always can open for yourselves some options here. We would like to share with you some information about studying resources. It doesn’t take much time but allows you to get some information for free from really good sources.


    United Academics is a social academic publisher, providing a platform where one can easily connect with academics, share and find academic content. Anyone interested in academic knowledge can request free membership to the ua platform. Members can publish, discuss and comment on academic works, collaborate on developing new knowledge, and stay informed on their field of interest. We aim to make academic content easily accessible for anyone interested, and integrate various forms of social media to stimulate cross platform sharing".


    Open Yale Courses (OYC) provides lectures and other materials from selected yale college courses to the public free of charge via the internet. The courses span the full range of liberal arts disciplines, including humanities, social sciences, and physical and biological sciences".


We are a social entrepreneurship company that partners with the top universities in the world to offer courses online for anyone to take, for free. We envision a future where the top universities are educating not only thousands of students, but millions. Our technology enables the best professors to teach tens or hundreds of thousands of students.
Through this, we hope to give everyone access to the world-class education that has so far been available only to a select few. We want to empower people with education that will improve their lives, the lives of their families, and the communities they live in".


   TED
TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its score has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences - the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Spring each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Edinburgh UK each summer - TED includes the award-winning TED Talks video site, the Open Translation Project and TED Conversations, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize. 


    For now I'm learning "How to reason and argue" with Coursera and "Introduction to Psychology" with Yale and both of them are great!
