OpenCourseware: Get a Free Education Online

Unfortunately, there's no college credit for these classes. Well, actually, there are ways to get credit, but that's the subject of a later post.

While most people know about online college classes, few know that there are real  classes from major universities and colleges that you can sit in on absolutely free. You see, most colleges and universities these days actually upload many of their classes to the web for the entire world to view. This fact is not commonly known, but you can find tons of these free classes online and you can take full advantage of the free knowledge provided.

So how do you find these classes? You simply google "opencourseware" to see what's available. Here, let me google that for you.

Oh, and if after you've sat in on a few classes, you'll probably wonder how you can actually gain college credit by taking these online courses for college credit for free That site will explain in more detail, but basically, you need to take an exam to prove your knowledge of the subject. If you [pass, you'll get full college credit for knowledge gained in the real world. By taking these classes for free, you gain that real world knowledge. Understand?
