Free Online Learning is Changing Education Forever - Chip Rogers, Georgia Works

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are changing college education forever. The world’s most prestigious colleges and universities are now offering free online courses. Coursera.org and EdX.org feature more than 70 participating schools between them including Harvard, University of Michigan, MIT, and Georgia Tech. While most do not offer credits, students may take exams associated with the course subject matter to earn credit. Education-portal.com provides a comprehensive list of schools offering free online courses and offers links to the College Board’s College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) which allows students to test out of general education requirements at 2/3 of colleges and universities in the U.S. http://www.gpb.org/blogs/georgia-works/2013/05/10/college-education-is-becoming-free-online
