"I’ve been a fan of open education for some time and recently have been intrigued by the revival of the “free” business model debate by Chris Anderson and Kevin Kelly, among others. So, conflating the two, I decided to undertake what turned into a “pulling a thread on a sweater” exercise and see how much free online learning I could find on the Web relatively quickly. Free online courses, free education sites, free CE, free CME - basically anything free and educational that I could find.

"Humans have been teaching and learning by technology since Socrates first complained about it in the 4th century BCE Phaedrus. Now that we are into the second decade of the Web and the Internet’s second generation, we have seen a wide range of practices emerge for teaching and learning with technology. As technologies have proliferated and developed, teachers have developed and shared techniques and projects through networks and institutions. In this cyberspatial milieu, students have been guinea pigs and innovators, taking classes, experiencing projects, helping teachers and staff support instructors teach, graduating as alumni, and sometimes returning as staff." (ACRL, Feb 2007)
