If you believe an education is valuable, there's gold in them there hills! Some of America's greatest learning institutions offer some of their best educational programs freely online.

The free online university courseware is a hoot. There's something particularly satisfying about believing I'm getting a free ride in one of the world's best educational facilities.

MIT, UC Berkeley, and a few other reputable universities offer free courseware online - no credit of course. It's just the material and classes. But, it looks awfully good at first glance. Organizations like learner.org (The Annenburg Group) also offer some great courseware online free to anyone willing to use their computer to attend classes.

Here's a few interesting online venues:
• MIT's Free Open Courseware
• John's Hopkins
• Carnegie Mellon University
• UC Berkeley

Find more free courseware at OpenContent.org And, check out the believers' website Open Courseware Consortium
