The Open-Sourcing Of College Education


Posted by Tom Smith, Mar 14, 2007 02:48 PM

College education has gone open source: A number of top universities are placing their course materials online, free. No course credit is granted, but self learners can have access to all the same materials as those shelling out tens of thousands of dollars annually. That's great news for IT pros who are either unemployed or looking to acquire new skills and knowledge.


The movement includes prestigious universities MIT, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, University of California at Irvine and others.

Have you taken advantage of any of these courses? If so, share details on the quality of the experience and the value of the information below.
