The name of the website is Open Culture: The Best Free cultural and educational media on the net.
Sort of ironically, we had actually looked at this site in one of the assignments for my computers in education class, but moving on.
Based on the copyright on the bottom one can assume that Open Culture is a company that sponsors it's own site, not any real sponsors that I can see. You can even follow it on Twitter and Facebook.
The site pretty much offers free services such as audio books, online courses, movies, language lessons, etc etc. It also has a news feed that seems to deal with teaching in general to technology blogging. Great variety of things to take in on this site.
What's particularly nice about this site is it's advertising anything it is the fact that the tools they offer are free. The few advertising there is there is usually only one per article or page that you visit.
The site is pleasing to the eye, nothing clashing really color wise and is easy to manuever.
I would most likely, as an educator, use the language lessons part of the site the most. For almost every language they have several links to help people learn the language and, considering the fact I most likely want to teach a second language, this would be really helpful for students who need that extra studying tool.
