This post may seem to be out of context. But you can consider it as a review of some websites. Websites that provide free online content for education. For any student it is very essential to get correct and quality study material. Specially when we talk about Indian students they don't refer authentic material. These free resources might help them get good study stuff at their computers with ease.
The fist website in my list is:
Academic Earth is an organization founded with the goal of giving everyone on earth access to a world-class education.
At Academic Earth, they are working to identify these barriers and find innovative ways to use technology to increase the ease of learning. Know more about Academic Earth by visiting theri website: http://academicearth.org/about

The portal is aimed at promoting science, exchanging ideas and fostering knowledge sharing by providing high quality didactic contents not only to the scientific community but also to the general public.

5) ecorner:
Stanford University’s Entrepreneurship Corner offers 2000 free videos and podcasts, featuring entrepreneurship and innovation thought leaders.
There are many more such fantastic sites which provide great educational content but I think this list would be more than sufficient. Tools for publishing (and charging for) online educational content include Faculte.com, uDemy.com,Videolla.com, LearnOutLoud and LeapingBrain.com. Youtube.EDU and iTunes Uare general purpose content distribution hubs. OERCommons.org is a search engine for open-licensed content. Sites like About.com, HubPages, Instructibles,AssociatedContent and eHow collect practical advice on everyday topics.
