Today's Webtip: Coursera

Another opportunity for free online education.

Will the wonders never cese?

It's been a pretty amazing year for online education. Actually, it's been an astounding decade. So many renowned institutions have started making courses available online that it's almost impossible to decide how to spend my time. And completely unnecessary to worry about how to spend my money.

I'm a very happy freetard.

Because now I can explore my interests in learning about e-learning without having to drop any cash on a work-friendly degree plan.

Coursera.org offers courses from universities you might have actually dreamt of visiting. Places like Stanford, Princeton, Johns Hopkins, or Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology in Dehli.

There are currently 196 courses being offered in a wide variety of fields. And it's free.

That's the way I like it. (uh huh, uh huh)
