Hmm, after reading their about page I might as well change the purpose of this forum. Cosmolearning does what I wanted to do with philomath.network,but better. Edit: the site's functionality is a bit broken and development seems to have ceased since 2017.

Mission statement
To collect educational and cultural resources to create a
free online school, empowering people with access to a world-class education at no cost.
History
In 2006, two siblings – Gab (15) and Rafa (12) - started to look for valuable educational content on the web to help improve their performance in science class. They found numerous video lectures and books available dispersedly, in sites like YouTube and Guttenberg, and decided to organize the content in a friendly environment for their own use. Months later, they created a website to help other colleagues eventually looking for the same information. In July 2007, they started CosmoLearning, helping not only classmates but also thousands of homeschoolers, undergraduates, teachers and professionals in all areas. Founded with the objective to provide free access to learn from the world's top scholars, CosmoLearning gathers and organizes educational content in an intuitive environment. Our goal is to develop an innovative interface to discover and learn from new academic content. By using the latest technology in web development, we shrive to create a friendly and knowledgeable user interface optimal for learning, giving you the freedom to choose what you learn and how you learn. At CosmoLearning, we believe education benefits our society, especially when accessed by anyone willing to expand their horizons. For us, freedom to learn means freedom to choose.
