I have had this post from makeuseof sitting in my electronic pile of “things I really ought to check out” for so long now I had to brush the cobwebs off.
Fortunately all the links still work, unfortunately, most of my readers are UK-based so may find that seven of the eight are not as useful as they might otherwise be.
If you want to read the original post you will find it
here.
My list follows (minus notes but also minus all the ads!)
- MIT OpenCourseware – the first, and in the opinion of many, the best
- Carnegie Mellon OpenLearning
- Khan Acadamy
- University of California at Berkeley
- Stanford University iTunesU
- Tufts OpenCourseware
- Open University LearningSpace
- Johns Hopkins
To get the full advantage of these courses you will probably need to get the associated text book, and to get a qualification and/or tutorial support you will need to register and pay. However, if you are learning for the sake of learning something interesting (World History as taught from a US perspective, perhaps) or brushing up on something you may have learned a while ago (statistical computation) then the only coinage required is TIME.
