Get an Ivy League Education...for free!

Harvard has announced plans to offer an array of curriculum to ANYONE interested in learning. Price of admission? Nothing at all! Just a determined attitude if you plan on making it all the way to finals. Harvard's involvement follows MIT's announcement in December that it was starting an open online learning project to be known as MITx. Its first course, Circuits and Electronics, began in March, enrolling about 120,000 students -- some 10,000 of whom made it through the recent midterm exam. Those who complete the course will get a certificate of mastery and a grade, but no official credit. Similarly, edX courses will offer a certificate but will carry no credit. So...you don't get that all important degree the modern job market demands. But you will expand your mind. And in the end, life is learning. Now that the Ivy League has started to tap into the web's true potential, let's hope more universities, corporations and government agencies wise up.
