    Probably a site most have heard of before, but well worth the look if you haven't. Basically, it's one man who sits at his computer with a slate and narrates videos explaining an idea/technique as demonstrated on a simple whiteboard. He's recorded a large compilation of these videos from a variety of fields in math and science. "The Khan Academy is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) with the mission of providing a world-class education to anyone, anywhere. Despite being the work of one man, Salman Khan, this 2100+ video library is the most-used educational video resource as measured by YouTube video views per day and unique users per month."

Google Talk Chat-back Badge - 1 views

  •  
    If you use Google Talk (Google's instant messaging client) or just chat from inside your GMail account, you can set up a HTML "badge" that you can copy on to any webpage so that visitors can just click a link and start chatting with you. I've used a badge copied on to my Blackboard site to allow students to instant message me. The advantages are that the student doesn't need to sign up for a Google account to use this, and they don't even have to know your gmail account address to chat with you since you can make the badge say whatever you like.
