We’ve told you about the Great Courses Plus (now called Wondrium) before–a new video subscription service that lets you watch free courses (about 8,000 lectures in total) across a wide range of subjects, all taught by some of the best lecturers in the country. The topics cover everything from History, Philosophy, Literature, and Economics, to Math, Science, Professional Development, Cooking, and Photography. And you can binge-watch entire college courses in a matter of days by watching videos on your TV, tablet, laptop and smart phone, with the help of apps designed for Apple, Google Play, Kindle Fire, and Roku.
Interested in trying out this service? Right now, the Great Courses Plus/Wondrium is offering a special deal for Open Culture readers. If you click here, and sign up for a free trial, you can use this service for 30 days … for free. And then, if you would like, you can continue to subscribe and pay their normal prices. If you have time on your hands, this is a great way to keep your mind engaged and stream what PC Magazine has called “an excellent library of college-level lectures.”
Note: The Great Courses is a partner with Open Culture. So if you sign up for a free trial, it benefits not just you and Great Courses Plus. It benefits Open Culture too. So consider it win-win-win.
The courses look amazing, but why do I have to select a payment plan and provide my billing information when I want to try out their services?
If it’s a “FREE trial”, it should be free and IF I decide it’s worth it, THEN I would decide whether to chose a monthly or annual subscription.
But providing my billing information beforehand with the promise I can cancel it before it runs out makes me very, very skeptical. That’s something I usually associate with bait-and-switch services.
I currently have six Great Courses under weigh. More stimulating than most movies.
I would like access to my tv,and any videos on alternative medicine,or martial arts.nMaste
