Never Stop Learning

One recent trend that deserves monitoring is the trend towards making educational material available for free. Many top name universities have started putting their courses online - for free! Colleges are seeking to build their brands and connect with potential applicants across the globe. Those of us who aren't potential applicants can benefit from their largesse!

ITunes has a portion of their site dedicated to college lectures that can be downloaded for free. You can get all kinds of material here - from seminary courses on Old Testament to cutting edge science courses from MIT. If you ever think back to your college days and wish you hadn't opted out of that hard European History course, odds are that you can probably find one online and enjoy all the learning - without all the stress of taking the tests.

Go HERE to see what's available on ITunes U. If you're not an ITunes user, HERE is a list of universities with courses available online. Check them out and learn something new. Enjoy!
