The Next Web:
There are an insane amount of lectures and talks online ripe for the downloading, many of which are free. The problem is that they’re spread across literally hundreds of disparate platforms, like university websites, YouTube, Vimeo, Coursera, and so on.
FindLectures is an effort to centralize the vast quantities of free online lectures and talks into one searchable repository of knowledge. It pulls from a number of reputable sources, including Oxford University, TalksAtGoogle, TED, the Library of Congress, and more. At the time of writing, it boasts a catalog of over 25,968 lectures.
This is a great example of what I call “accidental learning”. A huge and very random list of lectures you can just pick and choose to listen to at your leisure. Everything from “Digging up Dinosaurs” to “Waterloo: Causes, Courses and Consequences” to “Solving the First Person Shooter in VR”.
