Free online college courses

www.onlineclasses.org...

These are not your everyday college class like math and such.

They are other topics.......

enjoy.

I didn't see a course for computer maintenance and optimization, hmmm guess I'llk just have to keep going to my "online" expert.


Serioulsy, there's actually a couple of those courses that I might check into.

Thanks

Nonlinear Dynamics I: Chaos: Learn the theory of chaos in this course. [MIT]

I especially like this one, although I believe the theory of chaos is very intrusive on anyone who thinks that there should be naturally occuring order in every step of life.

Awesome!

Thanks for the link.

Here is a really good one.

I almost cannot believe they are offering it.

Wow. This is the ultimate in online classes. Revolution! Good find!

2nd line...

Wow, that is a loaded course.

I wonder if the DHS is watching who goes to that course???

Wow, monsoon. Great find. What exactly prompted you to find this? And this is just the free stuff. There are other very interesting courses as well, as others have pointed out.

Man, this is just gonna be a big elephant in my immediate vicinity until I figure out why they'd offer these classes for free - online, and what exactly is the subject matter of the courses being held in lieu of payment (or scholarship).

Gotta get to work on this...

Again, awesome find...S&F

EDIT: This is now on my local start page. I see myself going there a plenty. Nice...nice.

Awesome find!

Riots, Strikes and Conspiracies in American History....what am I going to do now with normal University classes, constant research and now free courses??

In for a treat

Why did I post it????

So all my fellow ATSers can access it, of course.

Actually, in high school my computer math teacher was a big science nerd and went over some of chaos theory and the theory is that there is order in chaos. Google Mandelbrot sets. One such example.

Excellent! Thanks for this........ off the cuff, I can see more than two dozen courses I'm interested in.

Now, if we can just stave off that TEOTWAWKI business.............. at least for a coupla years...

Link is dead? Comes up with a DNS server error page?

If you ever reach a point where you just don't want to learn anymore you might as well plant yourself and give something a chance to grow off your remains.

If you aren't growing then you aren't living.

Thanks I am gonna check this stuff out!

I keep getting a dead link error too. Anyone know if these are accessible through MIT's main site?

Link works fine for me???

Thank you for posting this collection of courses.

It is a shame that more people can't/don't take advantage of these resources.

Hi, saw this post and just had to contribute. If you really want to get some great courses try:

Academic Earth

These are all courses from Stanford, Yale and UCLA (new). It's presented "Hulu-style" so it's simple, free and great looking.

-Buckwylds.

EDIT: Just wanted to say... if you are interested in Astrophysics and need an introduction course, here is the link:

All 24 classes: Academic Earth (Astrophysics)
