I am convinced that the more people get higher education, the better it gets for humanity.

This is a great list. I've thinking a lot about open/free education for masses in my wondering times these days. I was going to compile a list of available online courses just like this but more so in a semester wise fashion so that anyone interested can actually dedicate time accordingly as if they are part of a regular college curriculum.

As more and more courses come online, getting full-on degree becomes very viable by just attending lectures online, getting together with local students for group study or assignment, on-demand labs and support of mentors. There is greater need for open standard so that employers can start accepting these students as viable accreditation options for employment in their organizations.
