We got busy dur­ing the Thanks­giv­ing hol­i­day and put togeth­er a long-planned col­lec­tion of free edu­ca­tion­al resources for K‑12 stu­dents and their par­ents and teach­ers.

Right now the col­lec­tion fea­tures 200 help­ful resources, includ­ing free video lessons/tutorials; free mobile apps; free audio­books, ebooks and text­books; qual­i­ty YouTube chan­nels; free for­eign lan­guage lessons; test prep mate­ri­als; and free web resources in aca­d­e­m­ic sub­jects such as lit­er­a­ture, his­to­ry, sci­ence and com­put­ing. We hope you make good use of it with your fam­i­lies. We hope you tell a friend. And, right now, we hope you’ll tell us what great resources we’re miss­ing. We’d real­ly appre­ci­ate it if you would send us your thoughts.

    KhanAcad­e­my:
    The best by far for pre-col­le­giate cours­es. I would say K‑12 but I get the feel­ing that term is on the path to becom­ing obso­lete, and KA extends beyond just the mate­r­i­al you get in the tra­di­tion­al K‑12 cur­ricu­lum.

    Many of the high­er lev­el online cours­es (ex edX, and Udac­i­ty) even sug­gest KA cours­es as pre-req­ui­sites for top­ics that require them (ex cal­cu­lus for an algo­rithms course).

    Cours­era & Udac­i­ty:
    Get a tie for direct­ed col­lege lev­el cours­es. If you like the more struc­tured sched­ules and piece­meal exer­cis­es then you’d prob­a­bly pre­fer Cours­era. If you like to work at your own pace or in sprints then Udac­i­ty would be the bet­ter choice.

    Aca­d­e­micEarth:
    For tra­di­tion­al col­lege course lec­tures. The post­ed mate­ri­als con­sist of tra­di­tion­al lec­ture videos and class mate­ri­als from many of the top col­leges. Incl Har­vard, Yale, Stan­ford, MIT, etc.

    edX:
    A part­ner­ship between Har­vard and MIT to pro­vide an online envi­ron­ment for web-based learn­ing. The cours­es are free. They also cur­rent­ly offer cer­tifi­cates for mastery/completion but plan to charge for them in the future.
