Get Free Knowledge With 3 Cool Internet Tools

One of the most amazing things that the internet has done is to make information freely available

to all. But with an enormous amount of data available online, the process of filtering the good

from the bad is as tedious as it looks. If you have the inquisitiveness to learn new things, you can

learn anything from calculus to organic chemistry at home or watch inspiring videos of changemaking

people. We’ve decided to feature some cool tools for our readers—especially students—

but the vastness of open information available make them suitable for anyone to dive.

iT unes U

Apple is not as evil as it appears. Even though it overcharges us for

a wide range of devices, it has won our heart with the noble pursuit

of making university lectures and talks, educational videos and

audio available to download all under one roof. The only

requirement—you’ll have to download iTunes, which is free anyway.

Simply click on iTunes Store on the left panel in iTunes. Please note

that you will require an internet connection throughout. After some

loading, a screen will show up telling you that the iTunes Store is

not available in Nepal. No worries, we are after iTunes U, the link for

which you will now notice at the centre (top-right). Now come the

goodies! You will be able to download lectures from renowned

universities—MIT, Stanford, Oxford, Yale—for free. And if you think these are high level courses

that you might not be interested in, don’t worry. There are so many videos that you are bound to

find some that appeal to you. Just use the iTunes U Power Search (available on the top-right) or

view the categories in which the videos are organised. (Our pick—Justice with Michael Sandel—

truly thought provoking!)

T ED T alks

Technology, Entertainment and Design—that’s what

TED stands for. And since 2006, they have been

offering downloads of short talks and presentations

by people who have tried to change society. Bill

Gates, Bill Clinton, Larry Page and Sergey Brin

(Founders of Google), Julian Assange, and U2’s Bono are some of the speakers who have shared

“ideas worth sharing”—the central vision of TED Talks. With more than 700 videos, and almost all

of them shorter than 20 minutes, this is a wonderful source of not just information but also for

inspiration and creativity. You will find hundreds of clips to download. Furthermore, you can also

select the quality of the download according to your bandwidth.

YouT ube

Yes, YouTube. But any random video will most certainly

not be a good source of infotainment. To filter out useful

videos, create an account and add channels that you

know are helpful. The place to go to for university lectures

and other educational material is

www.youtube.com/education. The best part is that you

can select the quality of the video you stream according to your internet connection—240p for a

slower connection and 340p and above for faster ones. And with YouTube you are sure to find

many new things to learn.

No mention of Khan academy? What blasphemy is this?
