Get ready to spend an hour at a site. Librarian Chick is a wiki that brings together loads of free resources pertaining to books, learning, teaching, etc. Just by saying that, I am not doing the site justice.
"All of the sites listed here are free or offer free memberships/subscriptions. The information, books, lectures etc are usually free for you to download and use, but in some cases, copyright restrictions may apply so please make sure find out before redistributing. Some sites offer a list of material for sale AND a list of free resources. In such cases, I have tried to make sure to link to the directory of free goods. Let me emphasise that you should read all of the information provided by the developer on their website."
Here is a short list that shows a few of their many categories to give you a better idea:
- Books and Audiobooks
- Calculators and Mathematics
- Collaboration
- Foreign Language
- Grades, Worksheets, Class Management
- Test Taking / Prep
- Lectures
So, let's take a look at the Lectures section. The first one is a great. It let's you search all schools for podcast content and let's you grab it. I searched for Yale and a lot came up.
