very cool. I have no capacity for this right now but I will bookmark for later.

as a side note, I didn't know residents still had to take traditional classes. there's a 3rd year neuro resident who is on a rotation for electives right now, and he just joined my Aphasia class. he's in my group for a four-week case study--it should be interesting to see what we come up with given our respective backgrounds.

Cool, thanks! And in case anyone doesn't know, Berkeley, Harvard, and MIT also offer free online courses. They vary in setup - some are actual structured courses, and some are just the course materials that you can complete at your own pace. I love that so many institutions are doing this.

Silly question, but how do you know if they are free? Do you have to look at each one individually? I am on my mobile so it wasn't easy to see on their sites.

Oh were some of the links wrong? I copied them from an article I bookmarked ages ago when all of these programs were getting up and running, so some of them might be outdated. Thanks for finding the right ones, mlwooten!

I took a coursera course that ended a couple of months ago, and found it to be very good. It was a Stanford class on Human Computer Interaction. That particular course was set up with two tracks - one more intensive than the other. The less intense one (the one I took) was basically just listening to the lectures and taking about a quiz per week. The other, more intense, track involved completing a project and having GA's grade it. There was a moderated online forum to discuss stuff with classmates and GAs, and there was good communication from the GA's and professors on the content and process for the class. OVerall, a :Y: experience. I think I'm registered for some of the upcoming classes, but can't remember which ones.

No worries. I am actually very interested in listening to some of these so thanks for posting.

I've been meaning to look into these types of courses for a while. I'm bookmarking this to look through all these options.
