This list keeps being updated with more online educational resources:

Take a look at EVERLEARNERS.COM

If you are anything like me, you have discovered that the higher the level of traditional education you reach the more you are forced to specialize. And by the time people start doing research they have dedicated all their learning to a tiny niche.

For most of us, this is not useful. We need to (and let’s face it, want to) collect knowledge from a broad spectrum of subjects. Educational variety helps us make interesting connections and learn more deeply. Everlearning lets you add more and more value to your life both personally and professional in terms of career options.

This list is a curated collection of both free and premium learning resources, more free than premium, and all the free resources have been marked with an *.

Let’s not wait, dive into one of the sites listed below and start learning!
