Top 5 learning pages?

Asked by everephebe (11611

What are the top five educational websites that you know of, for any topic or pursuit?

What websites do you learn the most from?

You can also include your favorite news websites, or generally informative and thoughtful spots online. And just if you were wondering; yes, you can include fluther, but give me four other options too.

I really want to learn as much as I can, in general (about the world, about everything.) So if you can recommend something, answer this.

Looking for hubs of knowledge, to be exposed to.

My top site is Project Gutenberg – Literally thousands of historical texts free for the viewing.

I absolutely love MIT OpenCourse Ware, as previously mentioned by @johnpowell. Some of the recorded professors have become international “academic celebrities” for their lectures.

This site is kind of particular, but I’ve been using Metamath a lot recently for proofs involving set theory.

Academic journals such as JSTOR…

JSTOR’s headline is “Used by millions for research, teaching, and learning. With more than a thousand academic journals and over 1 million images, letters, and other primary sources, JSTOR is one of the world’s most trusted sources for academic content.”

College students write papers summarizing this material… PHDs add to the material…
