More Free Stuff: This Time It's College Education at Carnegie Mellon University

Continuing with the "All things free" theme...

Ever wish you had paid more attention in Freshman Physics? How about French? Econ? Chemistry?

Well, now you can turn back the clock and take online courses created by the faculty at world-class Carnegie Mellon University -- for free! Check it out. It's called the Carnegie Mellon University Open Learning Initiative. Right now there are eleven online courses to choose from.

Conspicuously absent are courses in Computer Science. Carnegie Mellon's graduate program in Computer Science was recently ranked #1 in the nation by U.S. News and World Report.

But then I guess we are not talking about graduate level course work in the Open Learning Initiative. Maybe some day.
