http://www.understandingcalculus.com/index.php - Online Calculus Course.
http://www.physicsclassroom.com/ - High School physics curriculum.
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/elegant/program.html - The elegant universe in video format basically.
http://motionmountain.com/ - Full physics book that's constantly being reworked and added upon.
http://www.purplemath.com/ - Algebra course
http://plato.stanford.edu/ and http://www.iep.utm.edu/ are pretty standard for philosophy materials I think, this one might not be anything new to anyone. Well, for that matter none of the links might be new.
http://www.youtube.com/edu and http://www.youtube.com/atgoogletalks , I think TED is pretty familiar as well.

Kind of been hording some sites and wasn't sure if anyone was interested or not, but some of you seemed at least a little bit intrigued by academic earth so why not right? Hope something helped.

Bump because Academic Earth just put up a course called Science, Magic and Religion:

Warning: I have not viewed any of the videos yet and make no claims about their quality or accuracy.

1) Her Decipticon water bottle is kinda cool.
2) She's kinda hot.
3) Calling science a belief system pisses me off.
4) Her definition of Magic also pisses me off.
5) Slide at the 5:30 mark misspells "Relgion".

Magic's just engineering for a different set of laws. 8)

I love how magic is a 'new' system and not something older than writing.
