Knowledge plays a part in everything we do. Benjamin Franklin once said, “An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.”
As an ambassador and advocate of knowledge, we believe that it is more true now than ever before. Businesses and schools across the world close because of the coronavirus pandemic, millions of adults and children are planning on several weeks of being stuck at home.
To make sure learning isn’t slowed in the coming weeks, we’ve compiled a list of free learning resources that provide on-demand videos and exercises for both adults and children, all of which can be completed at your own pace. We hope you will find this downtime an excellent opportunity to expand your horizon.
