I have written about MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) before. These are where a college puts a course online and allows anyone to take it for free. There are thousands of these courses available and more are being added all the time. As a matter of fact, in the past four months 190 different universities have announced 600 free online courses. Some people point to the increasing costs of higher education, but I think this trend is pointing in the opposite direction.
