The goal and aim of this site is to be able to help those that so desire to empower themselves via free online education. As well as provide the resources to various programs and educational outlets that may not be free.
Whether you want to get an associates or masters degree online, or find accounting courses, or maybe even help your bible study, I will provide as much information as possible.
Nothing trumps the value of a good education. Nothing is more empowering then to be able to learn something that will help increase the current quality of life that you make already be experiencing. I will weeded out scams and courses that have no accreditation, or those cracker jack diplomas. Because really, who has time for such foolishness! I know I don’t.
I know that University of Phoenix has a great online program. And there are so many others which I will help expose to. So if have any questions, suggestions, comments, or links, please feel free to share. There is nothing you can’t do once you pay for or get a free online education.

Free education online mp3s and video’s from UC Berkeley has made an online education even easier.
They are providing free of charge archives of their lectures from various courses. You are able to view either the webcast or listen to the mp3 version. The fact that they are willing to provide this information speaks volumes. It also proves that you can get good educational information for free if you are willing to work.
Who said that you couldn’t get a free education online? I guess it all depends on what you are trying to learn, but information is there for the taking.
Here are some of the courses you can view lectures on.
- General Biology
- General Chemistry
- Operating Systems and System Programming
- Economic Analysis (I think everyone needs to listen to these lectures)
- Microelectrical Devices and Services
There are so many more. Go to http://webcast.berkeley.edu/courses.php to check it out. This has to be one of the better methods to get a free online education. Simply put, you can get some high quality online education if you are interested in distance learning.
Now here are a few tips that hopefully will help you when you are utilizing these materials. I listened to a few of the lectures myself and admittedly it is more difficult to stay focused when you are sitting at your computer desk, or laying in your bed with your laptop sending text messages on your cell phone! LOL, but seriously, when you are doing the distance learning thing, you have to try extra hard to retain the information you gather. Now I am by no means an expert but I figure a few of these tips can help maximize your studying and your time.
- If you can, have some coffee nearby to drink when you fee your mind wander or start yawning
- Cut the TV, and cell phone off
- Take notes
- Have time scheduled just for your lecture time
- Remember that no one is going to do it for you, you will get out what you put in.
That is the basic gist of it, you have to treat this like you have something to gain, because you do. You may or may not be trying to get a degree online, but whether you are or aren’t, you have to approach it has serious as possible. A lot of time you get what you pay for, but in this instance, this free online education is invaluable.
