OdaySomali Posted May 7, 2012 Your education doesn't have to stop once you get out of school/college/university — being free of the classroom just means you have more control over what you learn and when, where and how you learn it. If you studied a degree subject but later regretted it; always wonder what it would have been like to study that other subject; have developed a sudden interest for a new subject; or simply want to keep learning and growing; this will be the thread for you. I will collate some of the free online university level classes and courses available on the web and will regularly post these materials in this thread. The materials you can access on these websites include lectures (videos/notes), questions/class material & solutions, assessments & solutions, exams & solutions, [text]book lists, projects & examples, pictures/multi-media material etc. Whether you're in school and getting ready to head back for the spring semester, or you're out of school and just want to keep learning and growing, there are an incredible amount of free, university-level courses that become available on the web every school year, and anyone with a little time and a passion for self-growth can audit, read, and "enroll" in these courses for their own personal benefit. Schools like Yale University, MIT, Stanford, the University of California at Berkeley, and many more are all offering free online classes that you can audit and participate in from the comfort of your office chair, couch, or computing chair-of-choice.
