This might be of interest to some - http://www.worldscienceu.com

Physicist Brian Greene (co-founder of the World Science Festival in New York) has just introduced an online science education website called World Science U with content for people of every level. For those just getting introduced to the concepts of physics and cosmology, there are dozens of videos explaining the basic concepts and terminology ranging from “what is mathematics” to quantum mechanics. For those interested in going a little deeper, there are 3-week-long short courses available, though there is no homework or grading. The website also features full length University-level courses with the option of gaining certification if all of the coursework is successfully completed.

I'll ask the mods to merge 'em

Didn't think to look in Parenting & education for a science thingy. Silly me

I just found this site World Science U myself from a link on FB.
I see it has been discussed here before but it seems to offer courses mostly in the physical sciences so I was going to post in the Physical Sciences & Mathematics section of the forum.
If you are thinking of brushing up on some physics or learning something new it might be good to know about and might get more attention in Physical Sciences & Mathematics.
Is there any way to link it there Mods?

The following course, a masterclass in inflationary multiverse and eternal inflation by Andrei Linde is just about to start and on an impulse I signed up:-
Master Class: Andrei Linde Universe or Multiverse?

Pleased that this thread has been resurrected - might not have found this otherwise.

I've signed up for the Special Relativity course - I never really understood it properly.
