Summary:
There is a great deal of free educational content online, but one does not necessarily have the time to systematically browse video libraries of multiple content providers. This is where curiosity.com comes in handy. The Curiosity website provides curated educational videos (for free) from 318 handpicked educational content providers. (Yeah, I don’t know about you, but I don’t have time to visit 318 websites in search of content…) Visitors to the site can choose to browse content from a specific provider, or they can search for content across providers using keywords. In addition to the curated content, curiosity.com provides some custom content (such as informative memes) as well. Site visitors can register for a free account if they wish to save favorite videos or receive daily videos via email.
