GENERAL

• CodeAcademy, coding
• Coursera, international universities
  • Has open and close dates but some will keep their course materials up (they'll most likely mention it).
  • Very interesting courses.
• edX, international universities including Ivys
  • Have not used, looks promising. Will update when I go through a course.
• Futurelearn, UK and EU universities
• Harvard, sorted by free
  • May be better off using edX
• https://www.diygenius.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-moocs/
  • With top courses
• iTunes U
• Khanacademy
  • Can use without an account (no tracking of progress) both desktop and app.
• OpenStax CNX, traditional subjects
  • Interesting, essentially a textbook interface. I say "traditional subjects" because it seems just marginally more riveting than your average high school/college textbook.
• Overcast
  • My preferred podcast app, mostly because it was the first to offer features as playlists and speed adjustment while still remaining free. Still free, though there is a patron option and really quite minimal banner ads. Run by just one guy.
• Spotify
  • Great if you already have a subscription.
  • Look under "Word" in the curated playlists.
    • Includes poetry, language learning, Shakespeare, short stories, etc.
  • Personally, I'm not very good as a listening learner but good if you are.
• TED, lectures
  • Haven't checked in on it in a while, but doesn't seem to support variable speed on the app so I don't visit it very frequently.
  • Never too long but often old. Good for getting inspired or hearing from industry leaders.
• Udemy, assortment
  • Lots of free courses but also paid ones (you shouldn't need to pay more than $20 for anything as there are frequent sales/coupons).
  • Taught by independent instructors, mostly upstarts who are trying to develop a personal business of consulting, education, or online presence. Results in varied quality, which is why I recommend the free courses unless there is a specific topic in mind.
• Yale

DESIGN/TUTORIALS

• CreativeLive, workshops
  • Significantly less money than actually attending in person, but still involves enough of a monetary investment to discourage signing up for everything.
• Pluralsight, professional
  • If you're not already in a specific technical field this may be too specific. Subscription-based with certificates. I have not used, might consider for architectural and modeling courses.

LANGUAGE

• Duolingo, language
  • Excellent mobile app but the mobile interface lacks the grammatical pointers and the word lists that the desktop environment has. Even then, it may be hidden away.
  • (May 2017) Now has Japanese!
  • (October 2017) More ads and more frequently, every few turns.
• Memrise, language
  • Excellent for a Pareto Principle attack on a language (learn the most common words in the language, perhaps 20% of the whole, which will probably be useful 80% of the time)
  • Flashcard-based. Fills in the gaps whereas Duolingo is more course oriented. Also more languages.

APPS

• "POCKET UNIVERSITY: A GUIDE TO THE 100 BEST EDUCATIONAL IPHONE APPS"
