I received an interesting email from "James in Arizona" today. James offers this comment on online education.
The classes are free but unfortunately you do not get credit hours for them.
Greetings from Arizona, Mish,
I ran across this website while exploring various online options for my daughter (in high school, but she’s very computer savvy, so I’m looking for options to expand her interests/basis). It is EdX, an online education group started by Harvard and MIT, but other universities are joining.
Hopefully this online education program will finally put a torpedo in the expense of college.
Have a wonderful New Year, and thanks so much for the effort you put forth on your blog, and educating those like me.
