- Libretexts – “LibreTexts is a non-profit organization committed to freeing the textbook from the limitations and costs of traditional textbooks. Our open and freely accessible LibreTexts provide a more engaging learning experience for students without the financial burden.”
- Professor Dave Explains – "My goal is to provide the best resource for self-education in existence. I've already covered a lot of subjects, but I plan to cover literally every single academic subject in the coming decade or two. My videos have just enough detail for high school and undergraduate students, but are visually engaging and general enough for the common viewer that just wants to learn a few things.”
