So you want to learn...

Recommended Posts

Let's say that for your 'Life' goal for your Six-Weeks Challenge, you wanted to learn something new. I suggest we compile a large source of online-resources for learning things and sticky it on Life Hacks.

Here are some of my personal favorites:

Mathematics

Khanacademy.org

Computer Programming

Khanacademy.org

Codecademy.com (Javascript)

Spanish, French, German (Italian and Portuguese are coming)

Duolingo.com

MIT Online Coursewear

http://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm

Harvard's Open Learning Initiative

http://www.extension.harvard.edu/open-learning-initiative

Any other suggestions?

I had some more sites, but they were bookmarked on my old work computer, and I'm not 100% sure I saved them. Also, did you get the Lifehacker Academy courses that had its own thread a couple days ago? I don't have the link for it, but if I happen upon it again, I'll put it here.

It is really awesome, the courses are great, they explain everything... I took the search engine course (never finished, but it was because my semester started, and it was a bit too much just for a hobby) - they specialize on computer science, but also have statistics and physics now.
