| Anonymous Coward User ID: 29335662  Mexico12/13/2012 10:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | After all is said and done, these courses are only of interest if one is looking to self edumacate which is commendable yet absolutely pointless and certainly won't land anyone a job or a college major unless they pay be in debt or do a real degree... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29335662 The equivqlqnfybqs a vocational might help in an interview - until a real College graduate turns up, so again It is a con. Only peollle this would work for is retirees, the totally bored and the unemployed, so what are promoting is fool's gold. It never hurts to expand ones mind. :) GLP EXPANDS THE MIND...... ;) |

Ralph--a house dog  User ID: 25802009 United States12/13/2012 10:59 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Fabulous! I've paid money and spent driving time just to audit courses that interested me; it is so much nicer to have more online options like this. Good variety of courses. Thanks OP.

Many people like to explore new ideas or get in depth information on things that interest them even if they don't see a monetary benefit. It's kinda like growing flowers -- you can get a lot of pleasure from looking at them, smelling them and watching them thrive, even if you don't cut them and sell them to a florist or at the farmer's market.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 25294104 United States12/13/2012 02:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | @James: Online free web design courses: [link to www.saylor.org] - Saylor has a "major" in computer science, which includes this course on web development [link to www.w3schools.com] - have heard some negative feedback about this site, but mostly positive [link to www.gavirtuallearning.org] - this is aimed at high schoolers, but you may be able to get something from it. As an aside, for anyone who likes free college-level courses, also check out saylor.org, and Carnegie-Mellon's Open Learning Initiative. [link to oli.cmu.edu] |
| KIP (OP) User ID: 37635443  Canada04/15/2013 02:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I found the site to be easily navigated. The course material wasn't too far advanced that someone without prior knowledge would definitely be able to grasp every concept put forth. Even if you are familiar with the information, you still learn quite a lot. The video lectures were broken up, no more than 10mins each with the ability to download and watch at your own convenience. There was a multiple choice test after each week based on the material presented and I found them neither too difficult or too easy. Overall, an exceptional experience and I have looked into taking further courses from this site. Thanks for all the great responses and if anyone has taken or is taking courses from this site, let us know how your experience was.  |
