Online Learning Thread.

Sometimes, I waste a lot of time surfing. There are several valuable resources Online, I can spend this time online by learning something useful. Please share any new skill/book/course that you learned online. This will be a good motivator and probably give me some new ideas.

Thank You in advance.

I try to read a new Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org) article every day. There's also the Internet Public Library (http://www.ipl.org/), the Library (http://www.loc.gov) of Congress (http://www.americaslibrary.gov), the Smithsonian Instute (http://www.si.edu/) and the Guggenheim (http://www.guggenheimcollection.org) collection online.

I just discovered this site a little while ago. It's the National Academies Press. They offer over 3,000 books on science topics to read online for free, or order if you wish. Pretty cool deal. :) http://www.nap.edu/

It's not free, but prices are very reasonable:Eclectic Academy (http://www.eclecticacademy.com/)

When I'm working again (and when they offer something I want to take) I will be taking advantage of it :)
