How to Go to MIT for Free
By Gregory M. Lamb, Christian Science Monitor
An impoverished teenager in Darfur can now take an MIT course in sustainable development. At the same time, a bored researcher in Antarctica can brush up on her Romantic poetry. In fact, anyone anywhere can now take MIT courses, free of charge, thanks to the school's wonderfully democratic OpenCourseWare. Some 1,800 courses -- with their reading lists, syllabi, homework, video lectures, and corresponding visual materials -- are available to any curious soul online. -- Elizabeth Oliver

For free language courses, the PFA blog noted that the U.S. government's Foreign Service Institute has uploaded languages courses to the Web and can be accessed by the public for free at FSI Language Courses
