The rise of online education

Over the past several years, many entities have, either on their own or in coordination with others, sought to spread education across the planet.

There are many free online education courses available.

I've listened to a few via the iPhone "iTunes U" app

On a side note I really dislike driving, especially in heavy traffic. Downloading and listening to either audio books or courses such as many of those listed above is a great way for me to pass the time so I don't focus on being stuck in traffic and always wondering when it will let up.

I thought you would be discussing the public school education which I think is a good idea although I am not familiar with how it works or how well.
Yes these freebies and paid courses are wonderful! I found a great "kid's" Spanish language site that is very good. I have it saved somewhere (perhaps on another computer) and will post a link if anyone is interested. It really is good.
