Open Learning Resources

The following resources are primarily for high schoolers or adult learners.

Open learning resources and open courseware are wonderful tools that enable curious minds to explore any topic of their choosing for absolutely no cost.


The Open University is a great resource that provides short and compact yet informative excerpts from actual university courses. Check it out here: http://www.open.edu/openlearn/free-courses

edX is a similar such resource. However, edX generally offers full-length courses that follow a similar pacing and format as paid online courses. Students work with a volunteer professor to learn, complete coursework, and discuss relevant topics. Check it out here: https://www.edx.org/
