“One of the real challenges in education is finding ways to give more people access to brilliant teachers who inspire and excite with their ability to bring material to life.” -Bill Gates

教育所面临最大的挑战之一是找到合适的方法，让大众可以接触到充满智慧的老师：他们可以用他们把课本转化成生动知识的能力来启发和激发我们。-比尔·盖茨

     有很多很有用的开源学习资料，如MIT Open Courseware, Academic Earth等等。而盖茨最喜欢的是The Teaching Company。所有的课程基本都有视频或音频，在那里，Teaching Company团队用他们独特的方法找到了最好的教授和最优修的课程。以下是一些整理的课程推荐：
