Higher education at your fingertips and free as oxygen in the wind

Higher education at your fingertips and free as oxygen in the wind

I'm a repeat and huge promoter of the work of the Saylor Foundation (www.saylor.org ) because of its vast treasure trove of semi-vetted OER's (Open Educational Resources) organized by discrete courses and complete undergraduate programs; Coursera (https://www.coursera.org/ ) because of its wonderful array of world-class MOOC's (Massive Open Online Courses) and Open Yale University's complete course lectures from some of the foremost scholar-teachers in America (http://oyc.yale.edu/ ).

Especially note Yale's entire “Understanding Autism” seminar materials at http://autism.yale.edu/ .

This month I am taking a Coursera course originating from the University of Copenhagen entitled – "Søren Kierkegaard - Subjectivity, Irony and the Crisis of Modernity.”

If you can't find anything to stimulate your intellect in the above resources, you may be certifiably brain-dead.
