Online Courses and Education

Online education ranges from short informal courses for interest or to learn a particular skill, to accredited training to increase your career prospects to MOOCS (massive open online courses) run by universities around the world. Being online frees you from geographic and time constraints.

Moocs are less formal and tend to be better for interest and testing to see if you are interested in a subject than serious study. That said, some are starting to offer the option of paying for some certification.
