Recordings of speeches by local lecturers are posted on official group VKontakte is completely open access. The range of topics is incredibly wide - as the organizers themselves write, “in one evening a biologist, philologist and cosmologist can speak to you.” The format is rather popular science and more than fascinating.

This site, popular all over the world, creates sequential courses of lectures and weekly exercises, which can be viewed and completed completely free of charge by any registered user. Most courses require an online exam at the end. More than 109 different universities, mostly foreign, are involved in the development of materials.

Characteristic feature“Skepticism” is also due to the fact that the authors of the magazine do not hesitate to speak out on current issues in their articles and lectures. modern themes, be it education or political manipulation.

The project of Bangladeshi native and Harvard graduate Salman Khan is not being exchanged for additional materials.

Of course, it will not be possible to study these disciplines deeply, but it is easy to get a general idea. The site exists thanks to donations, with a significant portion of financial support provided by Google. They are also involved in translating the Academy’s videos into world languages ​​(the list so far, however, only includes English, Spanish, French, Norwegian, Portuguese and Turkish).

Education

Let's go back to the popular platform in RuNet - social network vk.com. Education is an extremely curious community that exists exclusively on VKontakte. The public administration posts video and audio recordings of lectures with enviable regularity, mainly in the humanities and natural sciences. It’s distinctive that here you can also listen to non-modern materials, such as, for example, conversations about culture with Joseph Brodsky - this is also part of the community’s content. There are also movies, documentaries and more, and audiobooks.
