Victor Leigh Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 How would you like to take a course in any of these universities? From your home. For free. Sounds like a dream, isn't it? Well, there's a site which is making this possible now. More information here: https://www.coursera.org/ Hardison 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHiLL Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Heard about this on the news the other week. Sounds, interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Leigh Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Heard about this on the news the other week. Sounds, interesting. Did you? Are you thinking of taking any of those courses? There are some which are relevant to IT. At the same time, there is another initiative to provide free online university education called edX. This one is being planned by Harvard and MIT but they are not online yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked through the IT related courses, but none of them appeal to me. Well, none of them will help my line of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryce12 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 That's a really great initiative. I looked at IT courses as well but it looks like they haven't made available all their courses yet. I am looking forward to getting some certificates from these reputed universities to enhance my resume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardison Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Thank you for that link. I didn't know about this. I will be taking a few courses. There are more than a few that pique my interest. There are a few relevant for my business that would be a nice feather in my cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A certification from any of those universities would certainly make for a very nice feather in your cap. I wonder if their courses are run on a strict time-scale. If it's flexi-time, then I may get started on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
