Free Courses from the Finest Universities
Coursera offers a plethora of courses from schools including the University of Pennsylvania (Donald Trump's alma mater) to UNC Chapel Hill and Berklee. Check it out if you want some free online learnin'! :D Warning: some of the courses are difficult. This isn't basketweaving 101, so come ready to play.

I take classes online from this site: . I just finished a class on grant writing and previous classes were Project Management, PhotoShop, Technical Writing, Internet Marketing, Human Resource Management and for fun I took classes in music and film (though being my degree is related to these it was just for fun). The result? I have been getting many more freelance jobs AND interviews for fantastic jobs I wouldn't normally receive interviews in.

Actually some of it actually is basketweaving 101! :rotfl:
Underwater Basketweaving- In this course, you will learn to weave beautiful, structurally superior wet-weave baskets in the ancient Aquacamamata style. No background is necessary for this course - you only need to be ready to learn, ready to weave, and ready to get your feet wet!

But anyway. In all seriousness- it looks like an awesome resource. Thanks for posting it.

Another one, totally free, founded by a MIT and Harvard alum: www.khanacademy.org
Here is him talking about the future of education at TED 2011. (TED.com is also a great resource for interesting stuff)
