Free Education


Free education? Right. Nothing's free, you say? Open Courseware Consortium is a site that offers free courses. I'll let the site speak for itself since I could not explain it as well as this:

An OpenCourseWare is a free and open digital publication of high quality educational materials, organized as courses. The OpenCourseWare Consortium is a collaboration of more than 200 higher education institutions and associated organizations from around the world creating a broad and deep body of open educational content using a shared model. The mission of the OpenCourseWare Consortium is to advance education and empower people worldwide through opencourseware.

I haven't had time to go through everything on the site (been very hectic the last couple of weeks), but what I have seen looks very helpful. You can find resources to use in your teaching, or you can learn from a course for your own advancement.
