I completed the Stanford AI class from ai-class.org that was offered.

Very awesome stuff.

Free streaming audio and videos of between 30-50 UCB ccourses are put up on their webcast each semester. Literally 100's of courses like watching youtube no signup or anything required.

Thanks again for posting, Shaolin. The current push for free, high quality, professional classes online is incredible. One more reason to love the Internet.

I do not know many things about these kinds of courses.

It is very valuable but is it USA only?Or is it international.
Do the certificates make a difference?

To be honest I am very interested in many topics, Philosophy and Neuroscience the most, to be able to go in-depth learning would really be awesome.
And another important question...TIME.Is it a fixed schedule or flexible.

Appreciate whoever will answer

All of the courses I know (for instance, in MIT) and afaik all the ones shared here, are there regardless your country. Unless for some reason your provider or country blocked the access to their address, that is.

And of course you can access the contents any time, or just download them.

Also, you won't get any certificate. These courses are meant to be used for learning only, not to achieve a status... otherwise they wouldn't be free

I didn't see Khan Academy listed yet, so here it is for all who wish to learn, purely for the sake of learning. :thumb_up:

 

[parallelwhispers]

Thankyou so much wave rider.

I was looking for basic chemistry courses, this is great.

I love you.

I don't think this has been posted. For awhile there has been many resources for college courses online but this one takes the cake.

www.edx.org is a program where you can earn college credits from MIT Harvard and Berkely by signing up for free with this new system they've designed. It's in beta right now so there isn't a whole lot of courses you can take, yet. Eventually they will charge so I don't know if you get grandfathered in later on when they do or what but either way this is a new step forward as far as online education is concerned. I personally think this is awesome and can't wait to see how it develops over time.
