Free on-line courses from "good" universities

idnic started this conversation

Hello,

I just came accross an incredible bit of information. If you're anything like me you love to learn but just can't afford, or don't have the time to continue with your education. Well I guess a few years back a handful of universities got together and decided to use the internet to offer FREE on-line courses,they call opencourseware. I'm talking Yale and MIT! Thier mission statement is "Universities working together to advance education and empower people worldwide through opencourseware". I checked all four of them out as I am trying to get funding to go for my associates as I am searching for work and everyone wants some sort of college degree nowadays. (It's like a H.S. diploma was in the 90's). They all look great and there is alot (over 2000) of classes offered. The only drawback to it is they do not give any certificates or credits for them, so it won't get you a degree but it will give you knowledge, and for those that havn't been in school for a while, it will give you the feel and get you back in the swing. Hey, I'm pretty sure this is the only way I will ever be able to say I took a few classes at Notre Dame.  Here are the links:

I hope some of you will get something from this and till next time remember Knowledge unlocks so many doors.

Keep Smiling!
