These universities have created online courses covering a variety of subjects from `The Ancient Greek Hero` to `Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Computation`.
There is no age requirement, no set prerequisites (only advisable ones) and most importantly these courses are being offered for FREE. All you need is an internet connection.
Today is the start of the 14.73x: The Challenges to Global Poverty, through MITx. I signed up a few weeks ago and have now received access to this weeks lecture videos, reading material and requirements.
"This is a course for those who are interested in the challenge posed by massive and
persistent world poverty, and are hopeful that economists might have something useful to
say about this challenge."
The course syllabus covers; Food, Health, Education, Family, Risk and Insurance, Credit, Savings, The Poor and Their Businesses, Institutions
Especially with the increase in university fees, courses like this are extremely helpful and a way forward in rising awareness and giving being the knowledge necessary to act.
