- lots of low-stakes quizzing and practice
- spaced repetition
- reflect on what you've learned and what you could do better next time, and apply these lessons in different contexts
- interleave practice of different but related topics
- try to solve a problem before being taught the solution
- distill the underlying principles to different problems
- remember that if learning is easy, you probably aren't engaging you brain very much

a repository of free online courses would be great, but despite the good intentions, this site is not it
Unfortunately, the promise of free online university courses is a thing of a the past. EDX and Coursera got bought out and are now money-making online ed sites.
