Inside a Typical Lecture

People learn and absorb information differently. That’s why most of our lectures allow you to:

  • Watch or listen to the video. Each lecture begins with a dynamic, instructor-led video with illustrations.
  • Read the lesson. If you prefer to read, below each video is a detailed text lecture that includes the full video transcript plus additional information and resources.
  • Quiz yourself. At the end of each lecture, take a quiz that immediately tests your understanding of the content.
  • If you prefer, work offline and take notes. Use our downloadable, printable PDFs to read offline or print out, highlight and mark up as you wish.
  • Access 24/7 at home, work or on the go. View the course materials on your desktop, tablet and phone.
