Mississauga, Canada (prHWY.com) October 31, 2012 - The Internet is a vast source of free educational resources like encyclopaedias, videos and turorials which cater to school students as well as professionals.

J. MURALI : A plethora of educational tutorial video sources continue to emerge on the Net. This edition of NetSpeak takes a re-look at this vibrant segment.

Net means many things to many people -- for some it is a storehouse of information, for some others it is a communication medium and for some others it is a space of entertainment.

Whatever be your take on it, the power and significance of Net lies in its potential to alter certain age-old beliefs and views. For instance, consider the economist's concept of 'no free lunch'. The extent of free resources available on the Net challenges the edifice of this concept.

If you wish to view the academy's tutorials off-line, you can download them through different means (http://www.khanacademy.org/downloadsThe project, 'Khan academy on a stick' (http://mujica.org/khan/) that can be used to download videos on Maths and Science lectures is one of them. If you wish to download only selected subjects, you may explore the archive at: http://www.archive.org/details/Khan Academy.

In this regard, you may also check out the search service 'Khan Instant' (http://www.khaninstant.com/) that enables a search of the Khanacademy database instantaneously.

This is a search service built along the lines of 'Google Instant', Google's new search interface. As soon as you start entering the search string, the service attempts to guess your search intention and begins displaying the results accordingly.

Before moving further, let me point out yet another 'Google Instant' inspired search service called ListandPlay (http://listandplay.com/). The service searches Youtube database in a smart way and helps you create custom playlists with videos pertaining to a specific topic or theme. Similar to other services, ListandPlay also predicts your search query the moment you start entering the search string and based on this guess it pushes the search output...
