    Love how much stuff Wikipedia has out there!

    Don’t get expectations too high tho - materials are there, designed to guide you through learning, but you’ve very much self-directed. Be prepared for plenty of interesting courses to show up in the list, but to actually be incomplete stubs. You can look for courses by completion status to mitigate that. And it doesn’t have the same level of editor engagement as Wikipedia, so not everything will be as fleshed out or as correct.

    Wikibooks is also cool, if you’re into this stuff. Same caveats apply, many of the books might be incomplete or outdated, but a good resource anyway. And don’t forget, if you want to learn about something, some thorough reading in Wikipedia itself is probably a smart primer.

      Searching by completion status should be helpful! Thanks!

      Wikiversity is not an accredited institution in the USA or Canada, probably not anywhere afaik, but probably great if you need additional guidance in a subject and you’re okay with every visual being demonstrated in trigonometry for some god-forsaken reason.
