I’m talking about sites like
Learn for free about math, art, computer programming, economics, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, finance, history, and more. Khan Academy is a nonprofit with the mission of providing a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere.
One-man show. Free information. Probably doing everything from his living room.
The site is unbelievably rich with information and I really hope the guy gains more popularity.
What have you got for me? I want to honor those people who keep sites like the one above going.
Not a one man show, but free online courses from MIT.

A good educator or education tool will make the main points concise and appealing, and encourage one to further their education by any means necessary.
Google has the info, but many cannot focus when so much info is ‘scattered’ in random places, even if it is there.

Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. Search across a wide variety of disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions.
