Extra-Curricular Resources for Students?

rende asks: "With school soon starting or having already started for many, this seems like a timely question. The MIT OpenCourseWare project is looking like a great resource for additional information to supplement my own coursework this year. I was very delighted to find this information freely available online, and wish I would have known about it previously. I would like to ask Slashdot: Are there any other resources, offered by other schools or independent sites, that offer such a robust selection of information that would fit in nicely, with the standard classes of a science related major?"

MIT's commitment to put all their course material online is unprecedented. Within the ed tech community it got a huge amount of press when it was launched. I'm always surprised to find otherwise computer literate educators who don't know about it. There have been various other efforts, but nothing which comes anywhere near the scope and financial commitment of OpenCourseware.
