Education: Free Online Training?

E-learning, an interesting advent of the 21st century and a very powerful tool for those who use it.  In the 1980's it was perceived by some as the wave of the future.  That all classrooms would be virtual.  They were not far off as we move closer and closer to virtualization of all levels of education.

On this note, here are a few links to sites that sponsor free online education, or also called e-Learning:

Academic Earth
Incredibly cool place with multiple free online classes for credit (1).  It is sponsored by Stanford and has a huge amount of knowledge.

Kahn Academy


For those of us with children (this is good for all ages as well), there is this very cool place.  Incredible help with subjects like math, banking, technology, biology, chemistry...the list is long.

An invaluable couple of resources for free education.  Just another example of the positive items you can find on the world wide web.
