  • If anyone responsible for the site's CSS happens to see this, the fixed height in pixels of #header causes the nav bar links to be partially obscured making them more difficult to click. My current window's width is 1600.

  • too many ads on this page, and the links go to more pages with ads and mostly to a website that only has "samples" of the courses for free

    a repository of free online courses would be great, but despite the good intentions, this site is not it

    Unfortunately, the promise of free online university courses is a thing of a the past. EDX and Coursera got bought out and are now money-making online ed sites.

  • A lot of these are just links to coursera. And quite a few are not from universities (saw a few by PWC)

  • There are so many things I wish I had time to learn about. I don't need my learning resources, I need a way to jack in and have them uploaded to my brain.

  • https://www.openculture.com/free_textbooks - none of the free textbooks that i tried worked? i picked a few from the CompSci category

  • I went to that site, said "awesome!", bookmarked it, and left the tab open in the background for an hour or so, and then noticed my laptop was warm.

    That page was taking over 6GB

  • The Stanford iTunesU classes have been truncated to a few seconds. So Susanna Braund's Aeneid course (which was brilliant) is gone. Same thing with their Hannibal course. I don't know that they're available elsewhere. Apple dropped iTunesU (2021?) and Stanford didn't have a backup.
