Opencourseware
Recently, we came across a list of links to free online courses from various US educational institutions. The list seemed to be interesting, he was harassed to someday see what these courses are all about. Here, at last, hands reached.
I looked through every link from this very list, looked through all the courses and gathered information that will be useful to you when you want to increase your level of knowledge in a particular area.
Interesting fact : It turns out there is a whole movement - OpenCourseWare , which began in 1999 in Germany, when one of the universities posted videos of their lectures online. Soon and other universities picked up the initiative and now OpenCourseWare is quite a popular thing, which consists of courses and free educational materials created at universities and distributed via the Internet.
As a rule, OCW resources do not require registration and do not offer any passing certificates. All training is self-improvement.
