TED Talks, Gutenberg, MIT, Khan Academy and of course the WIKI world, are already pretty much well known and resorted to by homeschooling members of our EIJ community.

Feel free to send in more free elearning site suggestions to help us build a resource page for our full-time homeschooling and afterschooling families.
