10 Free Tools for Online Education

I was going to write a whole post about the recent launches of Academic Earth and Youtube Edu, which aggregate thousands of free lectures from over a hundred universities (including MIT, Yale, Harvard and Stanford), but stumbled upon Lifehacker's Top 10 Tools for a Free Online Education, which mentions them along with a few more tools to get free online education:

  • Teach yourself programming
  • Get a personal MBA
  • Learn to actually use Ubuntu
  • Get started on a new language
  • Trade your skills, find an instructor
  • Academic Earth and Google EDU
  • Teach yourself all kinds of photography
  • Get an unofficial liberal arts major
  • Learn an instrument
  • Learn from actual college courses online

It turns out the internet is not only for tweets, quizzes, porn and lolcats, and there's actually a lot of useful stuff around. I had no idea...

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • MySpace
  • Digg
  • StumbleUpon
  • Technorati
  • Reddit
  • FriendFeed
  • email
