A website offering free courses in a number of different fields.

https://www.coursera.org/

You won't be able to get a degree from them but you will get access to lectures and course materials from real universities all around the world.

Here's the info from their website:



What a fantastic idea. I'd sign up for one now if i wasn't already doing a degree.

This seems an excellent plan for those who want some background in a subject.
I notice one or two of the Edinburgh courses offer course certificates, though not academic qualifications. (I suspect these will eventually all lead to certification.)

Here's one that EVERYONE on this forum should take

https://www.coursera.org/course/thinkagain

Think Again: How to Reason and Argue

Reasoning is important. This course will teach you how to do it well. You will learn some simple but vital rules to follow in thinking about any topic at all and some common and tempting mistakes to avoid in reasoning. We will discuss how to identify, analyze, and evaluate arguments by other people (including politicians, used car salesmen, and teachers) and how to construct arguments of your own in order to help you decide what to believe or what to do. These skills will be useful in dealing with whatever matters most to you.

I signed up for Game Theory too...since everyone else was doing it. I've had some basic game theory in a mathematical modelling class, so this should be interesting.

I signed up for two courses a while back when this thread started and funny thing, they are both finally starting...a day apart from each other. :p January 21st and 22nd. The first is Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering (doesn't that sound like boat loads of fun?) and the other is Fundamentals of Human Nutrition (which I did think sounded quite interesting). There's another starting at the same time that I really wanted to take, but it appears to have the same kind of workload as the Electrical course and I think that may be too much at once so I will wait to see about maybe taking that one another time.

There is Codecademy as well. It is particularly good for teaching HTML and Javascript.
