Khan Academy - chemistry
I remember a few years back hearing that Khan Academy was going to revolutionize education.
Then I took a look at some of the videos and realized this wasn't so much a revolution as an evolution. Salman Khan's videos are just those of a guy recording his voice while drawing on an electronic screen. At their core, that's all they are. They're just lectures.
They are, however, well constructed lectures. Khan puts a lot of thought and preparation into his lectures, ensuring that he has his patter down...well...pat and has every graphic he might need immediately at hand.
His website (the link above, Khan Academy) has expanded to include self-check questions that accompany his lectures, so that is a bit of an improvement, admittedly, from a simple lecture that you watch.
And his videos are available whenever you want them, ready to be watched again and again, slowed down or sped up until you have the content down perfectly.
His chemistry videos (all 104 of them), by the way, are admittedly outstanding.
