Free Learning Online!

Recently, I have found a number of amazing resources for learning online.  Academic Earth, is a fantastic website that gives awesome speech from renowned professors all over the world.  AE offers courses on all subjects in easy to digest videos, making it easy to watch, learn, and understand.  Stanford's Engineering Everywhere is also offering top notch courses in computer science and mathematics. I have personally enrolled in the AI courses, and am excited to begin watching the videos and then attempting some assignments.  You can also find a very eclectic collection of subjects and schools over at LifeHacker's Technophilia, which has everything from history to foreign languages. If video's aren't your thing, you can always check out Wikiversity, which is Wikipedia's take on open source education.  Although, Wikiversity may not have the depth of Standford's courses it certainly has the breadth, offering courses from gastronomy all the way to oncology.  But going back to the computer subjects, if you want to learn how to program there is no better place than Google Code University.  At GCU, you can learn C++, Java, Javascript, and Python!  All great languages which can help teach the concepts of computer science, such as object oriented, abstraction, and design styles.  They offer also courses on computer security, but if you really want to learn information security, I suggest the best: SecurityTube.  SecurityTube offers the best videos and lectures from professionals in the hacker field and at security conferences.  SecurityTube also offers certifications as well, so you can actually get something to show from all this e-learning.  Until next time Internet, educate yourself! We have a long, hard road ahead of us, and I want everyone on the top of their game!  We must all be well educated and critical of our world if we hope to survive and continue bettering our situation.
