What courses or physics topics would you like to see on the internet?

I want to make a physics course series. I want to make videos and other resources (like animations, simulations apps, and games). I want it to be on topics that don't have a lot of videos and resources, and there are people in need for them.
I'm a theoretical physics graduate student in my last year of graduate school.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
This would be somewhat hard to answer. I'd survey the major sites like Khan's academy for examples and see the kinds of course material they have.

Also you could check the Open Source Physics collection of programs at: www.compadre.org/osp

When you find one that's missing then you could focus on developing it.

If you want a comprehensive collections then you'd be developing all of your own simulations.
