The Master List of Free Online College Courses | Universities and Colleges

The Master List of Free Online College Courses | Universities and Colleges

This is a great listing of all free courses. It's amazing how many of them are around. The beauty of it all is though the power of interaction that happens on ground. YOu can attend the courses, listen to the podcasts, but at the end of hte day, you need to acknowledge that the value is really in the interaction which does not hapen in these courses, unless you can gather a few friends and decide to learn together and mine the web. That's social networking and learner community and its vlaue is precious.

John Burns Interview

Just saw this coming up this Thursday. Worthwhile to put it in the calendar.

New World Notes: Chestnut's Choices 4/2 - 4/8: Pulitzer Prize Winner John Burns, Cast of "The Guild", and Much More: "The University of Delaware's Ralph Begleiter, Professor of Communication and former CNN World Affairs Correspondent, will host John Burns, The New York Times London Bureau Chief on Wednesday April 8th at 4:30."

This is likely to be an interesting meeting in Second Life.
