Free Learning, College, University: Computers and Technology Courses
Ranked #65,814 in How-To, #736,651 overall
Web Design, HTML, Java, Programming, Macromedia, and More!
I started this collection of free College and University Courses, Tools, Guides, Lectures, Books because I found it interesting that you can, literally, recieve a full grade college or university education online. These lists are in no way complete, as it takes hours upon hours to collect and list each one but I am trying. Hopefully you will add this to your Favorites and come back soon to see if I've found anything you would like to learn!
DiScLaImEr: As far as I am aware none of the courses I list can be taken for credit. If you wish to gain credit at a local college or university for a course you take online then please contact the school first. Find out if they will allow you to take the final exam to get credit though them OR if they will allow you to take the advanced course if you can pass the exam for what you took online. Thanks!Note: Many of these courses require you to having reading sources, some places provide PDFs/eBooks of the books you need, but most you must buy yourself. Remember to check eBay, Amazon, and your local college and universitiy's store for them used and cheap.
