In this time of time, EDUCATE thyself!

A friend brought this to my attention:
https://www.edx.org/
Their gimmick being:
Many (all that I have yet looked at) are free to watch/listen, you only get charged for a "verified certificate".
So if you just wanna educate yourself, rather than acquiring marketable skills specifically to market them, this is withing pissing distance of hte mother lode. Many courses involve quizzes, to check you paid attention during the lecture. The course on vaulted structures I've got running right now, it comes with bloody calculus exercises.
I used to love, passionately, iTuners U. Which was where educational materials had been collected on iTunes. But they cancelled that a few years ago, and finding a a lecture on an arcane subject, presented by qualified academician, involved digging through hundreds of podcasts, and whatever I found would not be curated, obviously.
So this makes me very happy, and I hope you happy by it, too!
