Online education is revolutionary in its convenience and accessibility, but it still requires a great deal of concentration, time, and the right set of tools for your learning style. There are both paid and free forms of online education, and often they complement each other well. A series of free videos or podcasts on a topic can provide additional context that is outside the scope of a course syllabus. Accessing these materials via laptop, tablet, or smartphone makes it easy to fill all your spare time with educational pursuits, but having a good study space at home is also important for longer periods of dedicated study that let you really absorb material. The sites listed here offer great tools to help anyone get the most out of any online education option they choose to pursue. From OpenCourseWare suites to video lecture series and even a few shops that sell learning supplies and dorm furniture, this list has everything you need to set yourself up for success in online learning.
