New E learning sites for engineering and applied sciences


Here are the three best sites featuring free online video lectures from the top universities of the world.

1. coursera.org is the biggest site having many courses active or planned in the near future.
You can get courses like cryptography and social network analysis from universities like stanford, michigan, etc.

2. edx.org is a relatively newer but equally good site having subjects like AI from University of Berkeley and a few others.

3. nptel.iitm.ac.in is a joint effort from the iits and the iiscs in India. It features lectures from Indian top professors on topics like natural language processing, etc.

All these sites offer certificates and teacher's recommendations to anyone who qualifies any of the supplied courses. At the end of each course there is a test to qualify the course completion.

Watch free streaming movies online on your Android device


This method allows you to watch instantly and even download latest free online movies from www.1channel.ch directly from your Android smartphone or tablet.

You will need three Android apps---
1. Hubi
2. MX player or vmplayer
3. Web browser

Best part is that it avoids the use of Adobe Flash player which is a great benefit for Android 4.1+ users.

As all of you know running Flash movies on browsers also consumes much CPU, gives an error prone experience, needs Ad blockers and drains away battery easily.

Playing an HTTP video in native player is much user friendly. You can also take advantage of Hardware acceleration.

Steps:

1. Browse to your favorite movie link on 1channel and copy-paste it to Hubi client.

2. Hubi will extract the actual HTTP video link from the website link. It has two options - download or play live.

3. Open and play movie via any native player like MX player or vmplayer.

Hubi supports popular file sharing sites like putlocker.com and veehd.com

Voila!!! Enjoy movie watching and do post your comments.
