Learning Something New Everyday: Free Education

You really can learn something new everyday...

Source

The internet is a treasure trove of information, that can teach us so much more than how to bread a cat and what Nicholas Cage looks like as various Disney princesses. No disrespect to breaded cats or Disnefied Nicholas Cage - both are highly entertaining - but free education is a wonderful thing and as UK Higher Education fees continues to skyrocket, it is encouraging to see the increase in free, high-quality online education. The range of courses available is incredibly diverse and includes some very high standard teaching; a professor of mine at Bath, a leading cancer researcher and lecturer, offers a free online course in the genetics of cancer. It seems that regardless of your schedule, or interests, there is something for you, be it sustainability, cryptography, how to read a mind, climate change, drugs and the brain, a new language, social psychology, business strategy or how to train your dragon. 

Some of the best sites I've come across are Future Learn, Coursera and Alison, but there are hundreds out there. So if you have a few hours to spare and want to learn something new, why not have a browse and get inspired? Personally I want to learn another language this year, do some coding and get better at upcycling :)
