Education - Free Resources

[Phoenix]

I thought I would share with you my latest discovery. I imagine this could be quite useful to you if you have teenage children or are yourself a lifelong learner and wish to keep your mind active - you are never too old to learn.

I came across these sites while researching undergraduate courses in Botany. Lo and behold, I found one which not only has a free downloadable ebook but also linked tutorial videos on YouTube.

The resources are brought to you by the University of Minnesota and the State Of New York University. They are all classified or categorised under the Creative Commons category. A bit sad that the U.K. don’t do similar.

Link One: A list of publications under the auspices of the University Of Minnesota

Link Two: A comprehensive list of some great subjects under the programme by Milne Publishing for the State Of New York University.

And just for the heck of it, here are the two books/courses I downloaded. They are wonderful. If nothing else, they will give you an idea of how they are presented.

Link Three: The Science Of Plants - Minnesota University.

Link Four: Inanimate Life by Professor George M Briggs - State Of New York University.

So much to learn, so little time!

Be Good. Take Care.

Here is a great example from one of the pages from the course I downloaded - built in videos. Asparagus, Celery and the humble Lettuce have taken on an entirely new meaning - lol.
