i-tunes u

If you are thinking of a career change but don’t have the time to go back to school to check it out, I-Tunes U may be your salvation.

I’ve been exploring it and there are courses from all over now online - many of them free to view! (sorry no credits if you don’t register at the university!)

But it can be a great way to learn more on a topic of interest and see if the nitty-gritty of the field holds your interest.

MIT and a number of other major (and minor) universities, in the US especially, have been posting their course notes/syllabi/lecture videos online for a while now.

Now you download them to your computer or even IPod and listen at your convenience.
