Free online classes?

[daveleau]

Hi everybody!

Does anyone know of any sites that have free online classes? This could cover any topic, and would be very helpful if they were tech, business, religious, language or any other degree oriented subjects.

Thanks!
Dave

PS: I remember taking free classes at one site that had all kinds of tech oriented classes. I took a couple of LAN classes and such. Veyr helpful, but that was several years ago and I don't have the link. If anyone is interested, I have one that I have found and it pertains to religion:

Check out MIT's OpenCourseWare!

There are a variety of free financial planning courses from GE here.

That MIT OpenCourseWare looks pretty neat. Perhaps it's another summer thing I could do.

Ohhh!!!! Very nice Linux introduction. Any particular reason you're wanting to learn a few new things?

This came up in a discussion of why we as flyers don't do as well in Wing-wide awards. The answer was that we did not have the time to do as much self-improvement and community service as the non-flyers. While I can't help others do CS, I can give them guidance on how to better themselves through these classes without having to enroll in something like a Masters degree. I just enrolled in a masters, but others already have one or are not ready for it yet. And this is one of the few things that counts as significant self-improvement. So, this is more for the guys in my squadron and for my benefit after I finish with my masters.

Thanks again,
Dave
