100 Killer Sites For Free Online Education

Ready to start your journey?

Gone are the days when a continuing education was only available to the most affluent among us. These days, you don’t even have to go to college in a technical sense to learn about fascinating and important topics – not only can you do so right from your very own computer chair, but in the vast majority of all cases your online education will also be free of charge.

Thanks to the break-neck pace at which technology continues to advance, learning online is more effective – and more popular – than ever. Consider the fact that one recent study from UTEP revealed that over six million Americans are currently pursuing some type of online education. This rapid expansion has not only encouraged schools of all types to increase the number of online classes they’re offering, but also the variety of topics they offer, too.

You’d be forgiven for assuming that most of these people must be actual college students or, at the very least, in high school. In reality, the average online student is 32-years-old – meaning that it’s truly never “too late” to invest in your education and learn more about all the topics you care about.

All told, online education brings with it a wide range of different benefits that you simply cannot afford to ignore. Unlike an in-person class that may have dozens or even hundreds of students (in the case of a college lecture), a lot of online resources are essentially one-on-one environments. It’s just you and the course material – meaning that you can truly learn at your own pace and set your own level of learning engagement without having to worry about anyone else.

Plus, you get to study whatever you want – not just the topics that you’d learn about at an accredited university in your state. Sure, you can use a lot of sites to brush up on topics like history, math or social sciences. But have you always wanted to learn how to play the guitar but were never sure where to begin? Do you have your heart set on building all sorts of DIY electronic gadgets but just need a little bit of a push in the right direction? All of these are available, too…

… and again, don’t forget that in most cases they’re absolutely free of charge.

With that in mind, what follows is a list of 100 killer sites that you can use to get a free online education. They’re presented in no particular order and truly run the gamut of possible sources and subject matters. Some are materials offered for free by some of the biggest and most famous colleges in the world, like Harvard or MIT. Some are resources that were literally started for students, by students as a way to empower the free exchange of information online.

Regardless of what it is that you’re looking for and what you’d like to learn about, there’s no doubt that you’ll be able to find it somewhere on this list. All of this will ultimately be in service of the most important benefit of all: learning as much as possible about the topics that matter to you in your own way and on your own terms.
