Our Take
Wondrium (formerly The Great Courses Plus) was built specifically for adult learners who miss the intellectual rigour of university coursework. History, science, philosophy, literature, art history, astronomy, and music — all taught by professors who are recognised authorities in their fields, not celebrity instructors.
The 14,000+ lecture library dwarfs any competitor. The download-for-offline-viewing feature is essential for seniors who travel or who have unreliable internet connections.
