I would have posted this in one of the educational forums, but the instructions there seem to indicate that only educators and mentors can post to those forums. So I will ask here: I am looking for sources where I can purchase home education courses on science topics, especially in the physics topics offered here. If anyone is familiar with the Teach12 Great Courses website at
http://www.teach12.com/greatcourses.aspx
Those courses are very well done and professional, as well as being college level, the types of courses I am looking for. But I would perhaps like some a bit more advanced than what they offer there (most of the TTC courses are non-math courses for non-science majors).
I have many of the science and philosophy of science courses from that website that I purchased and greatly enjoyed, but I have pretty much covered all their subjects that fit my interest so I am looking for others like this TTC offers.
I want the courses that are available on DVD sets you can purchase rather than as online tutorials and such because I am most comfortable viewing the content that way. I am not trying to get a degree or anything (I am a retired EE), I just enjoy getting some additional education in topics I like now that I have the time to learn. I am limited in mobility, so going to an actual school for learning is not really possible.
I browsed through the education forums here but they all seem to offer only online videos and so on. I am lookiung more for courses on DVDs that I can buy and view at my leisure on my TV rather than on a computer.
I am interested in quite a broad range of topics, mostly in science but also in philosophy and history. I do not mind having to pay reasonable prices, if the course is worth the expense. Like I say, I am only looking to further my own educationj, not seeking credits or a degree or anythin, and I am retired so I do not need it for any work-related reasons.
More sources for this type of course materials like those at that TTC website would be just about ideal, but searching the web does not seem to offer much. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Pete B
