Online Education

Education is essential for all of us. It's a basic human need. Whenever we think about Education School, college or a university comes to our mind. One can even ask do we need  those places to get an education. Well, NO thanks to the power of the internet we don't. You don't necessarily have to go to a college or a university to get a degree level education.

There are open courses provided by leading educational institutes in the world for anyone. I have come up with some of them and decide to put them in a list so anyone can access them easily.

• The Khan Academy

This is undoubtedly one of the best resources which are freely available to anyone who's interested to get a solid understanding of the concepts in various fields. I would recommend this as a reference material to anyone who wants to get a higher education. It's wise to get a solid understanding of basics before going for more complex, advanced ones.

I have already put up a post on this which you can find in HERE.

• Education Portal

This is a fantastic site for getting a degree level education. You can search your preferred course from thousands of free online ones.

• LenearsTv

Another great site for getting good quality education. This site contains lectures from universities from around the world in video lectures, lecture notes, science animations, and even in presentation.

• Coursera

Probably THE best online resource site I've come across. 16 universities (by the time of writing this article) have come together to present these lectures. These lectures conduct a similar way to an actual university. So you can get high quality education by using this site. What is the price for all of this? the best you can get; FREE. 

• Academic Earth

This is another great site full of resources from universities. You can select your preferred subject and fellow the course.

This is only a summary of such resources, hope you find this educational...

Freeing Energy from the grid

I came across this talk few months back. The precentor of this talk Justin Hall-Tipping has done collaborative research and found that we no longer need to depend on an Electricity grid. We can simply can create our own energy. Thus removing the need of a grid. Clean free energy is available to all.
We now (upto now)  live in world world where we don't use a lot of energy sources that's all around us. Specially the sun. He and his research team from around the globe have found a way to harness just that.

Steps towards an Open world

This was a very interesting TED talk given at the TEDGlobal 2012 by Don Tapscott. This talk contains some  ideas that explains what's going on in the world today. This shows what Wikileaks did (or tried to do), what paves the way for that. He also talks about the new generation whom uses technology to make this world an open world. He also goes on to talk about the social media and what its role in all of this.
I find this talk very interesting hope you do too.

Note: Its wise to listen to this with an open mind.
