I have written a lot on online academic videos and their growing accessibility but I did not want to fail to highlight the clear and excellent tools offered at AIG, Answers in Genesis. they have long been in my listings on the site but they do deserve highlight.
They are not the only place to find such materials, or the only perspective but their Media Section is literally crammed full of excellent and broad offerings for all ages. For the more academic, it offers just as academically astounding materials from some of the brightest lights in Creation Science to Evangelical Apologetics. The video collection continues to grow and build along with the rest of the materials... quite astounding articles as well. In fact, the litany of degrees that stack here outnumber many of those I have heard in some classes that teach with less confidence the speculations of men... even in Christian classrooms. No matter where one is in their sanctification or education these materials offer a great start and all point to the mighty Creator and his all sustaining Word (and importantly, its dominance.)
One would do well to use these whenever appropriate, even as quick comparisons, point/counterpoints with opposing views or attacks. The only things I have against the site are that the videos cannot be embedded on other sites (easily/legally) and that the video player itself doesn't permit full screen viewing. So, yes, you have to go there to see them but it is worth it. The growing catalog is one to be reckoned with! And, yes, as always, they are free.
Special Note: They do accept donations to keep the video/media free though--one should consider the benefits of such a ministry (they do not operate on endowments or large public funding as the other academic VOD aggregates do) and consider "chipping in" to support such an outstanding ministry.
