Especially since the COVID pandemic a lot of educational organizations, academics and experts have been making their knowledge-rich content publicly available online. As with anything alongside all the mass of content dispersed across the web, some of these sources can be hard to track and pin down. This curation is here to help, as Ben Meer, who specializes at personal development at Cornell University notes: "YouTube is free education. But 99% don’t know the best spots on its virtual campus."
