Not headed back to school this fall? You could be, minus the exorbitant tuition and without even leaving your chair. The web has made it easier than ever before to get a free education, and you'd join the ranks of great thinkers in history who were also self-taught, like Joseph Conrad, Albert Einstein, Alexander Graham Bell, Paul Allen, Agatha Christie and Ernest Hemingway. You, too, can be an autodidact; the breadth of free educational materials available online is absolutely astonishing.

Note: Many colleges and universities offer free courses online in the form of podcasts, lectures, tutorials and full-blown online classes. Most of these courses, while extremely smart-making, will NOT award any college credits or degrees.
if you just want to learn, it can be free.. you won't get credits, but you'll be more edumacated!

So basically, black people have no right to complain about their lack of educational opportunities?

This is beautiful!

Where's BVF now? We need him to post that black ppl aren't allowed to have the internets and that's why they forgo education.

LOL this is funny, last week I saw this and I was going to say something but then I thought bah GFY isn't the forum for this educational shit

what I was going to post is that MIT was doing this, check this shit out its INSANE!

http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/home/home/index.htm

This is OpenCourseWare from MIT. You can go there and see 1800 courses and download FULL lecture notes, assignments with solutions, exams with solutions, tests and all of that, as well as watch the actual video of the lecture happening.

Insane! 100% free, no registration or anything, so that means that even the most isolated person living in the most third world country if taught to write and read and use a computer can pretty much do ANYTHING from there, including getting the same education that some guy 2000 miles away is paying $20k a year for!

Of course you don't get the actual certification or to work with people/professors but you do learn and you get the knowledge.

I think this is the greatest thing ever!!

robfantasy 11-06-2008 12:23 PM

Sarah_Jayne 11-06-2008 12:32 PM

I think that is pretty darn awesome. I am off to see what I can learn. There are a lot of things that I have an interest in but not to the level to work for a degree.

im trying to find a course on sanitation engineering to no avail

too bad there is not some kind of standardized deparmental type examination testing you could go to so if you learn everything there is to know that is involved in obtaining a bachelor's degree in a field that you could go, write some tests, and prove your knowledge and be awarded the degree :2 cents:

You could probably learn how to better manage the other sanitation engineers though so they have to get dirtier than you.

How the fuck am I here if black people aren't allowed to have the internet? And why do you care whether or not a black person gets an education? And why are you putting my name into it?
