2024 Author: Malcolm Clapton | [email protected]. Last modified: 2023-12-17 03:44

We have compiled a selection of online projects with interactive exercises, video lectures and articles. They will help you gain new knowledge and refresh old knowledge for free.

1. "Smart"

"Smart" introduces current professions and suggests how to learn them. Having chosen the specialty you are interested in - SMM specialist, photographer, web designer or another - you will see a list of skills necessary for it. So that you can master them yourself, for each skill, the site displays a selection of links to training materials. Although Smartia is targeting a Russian-speaking audience, some of the content is still available only in English.

2. "INTUIT"

The oldest educational site on the Runet. Here you will find hundreds of text and video courses on dozens of different topics - from programming to psychology. Many courses are prepared by Russian universities and large international companies like Intel and Microsoft. Self-study is free, but those who wish can pay for the services of personal mentors.

3. "PostScience"

This resource publishes collections of video lectures compiled by experts from different industries and united by common topics. Among them, for example, are the series "Bioinformatics and Genomics", "Culture of Medieval Scandinavia" and Cinema Studies on the theory of cinema. Each set of lectures is a coherent story told by an expert in the first person. In addition, scientific and educational articles and tests on various topics appear on the site.

4. "Phystech Lecture Center"

Project of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (Phystech). With it, you can watch online lecture series recorded on video at this university. Among the available subjects are physics, biology, chemistry, information technology and others. For some lectures, the administration of the resource encloses ready-made abstracts, which can be downloaded in PDF format.

5. "CyberLeninka"

Electronic scientific library of open access. The site catalog is regularly overgrown with articles from various scientific publications. Publications grouped by journals and headings can be read online or downloaded in full in PDF format. The project aims to popularize science through open access to quality information.

6. "NewWhat"

The NewWhat project team selects the most interesting texts from the English-language media and translates those of them that are voted for by members of the VKontakte community. For the most part, these are popular science articles. Editors only come up with titles, otherwise the content of the translations corresponds to the originals. The full texts can be read directly on the social network.

7. ITMOcourses

Online platform of the St. Petersburg National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics (ITMO). The resource provides free access to courses developed at this university. The catalog of materials is divided into four categories: "Optical systems and technologies", "Instrumentation and robotics", "Information technology" and "Biotechnology". Courses consist of video lectures, interactive demonstrations and assignments.

8. InternetUrok

Online database of materials on the main disciplines of the school curriculum. The information on the site is structured by grade, subject and topic (lesson). Each lesson consists of video lectures and notes. There are also interactive simulators and tests to consolidate the passed material. Even if you graduated from high school a long time ago, the opportunity to repeat the high school program can always come in handy.

9. Newtonew

Online media about education and training in a broad sense. Newtonew contributors write about tools, institutions, tactics and strategies that help teach others and gain new knowledge on their own. On this site you will find news, reviews, analytical materials and expert columns on education and popular science.

10. Edutainme

Another resource about education. Unlike Newtonew, it seems to me that Edutainme is more focused on representatives of the industry: educators, entrepreneurs, developers of educational projects. But anyone who is simply striving for self-development will find a lot of useful and interesting things on the site. For example, information about new courses and educational services.
