When "free" doesn't mean crap...

There seems to be something inherently suspicious about anything that is freely available. Sometimes I feel like a psychology experiment, handing out tenners on Sauchiehall Street to general public rebuke.

Listen. This is free (or at least freely available under the terms of a Creative Commons licence) & it rocks!
OpenLearn is the FREE (that word again) online learning service of the Open University. At present there are 361 course units available in Arts and History, Business and Management, Education, Health and Lifestyle IT and Computing, Mathematics and Statistics, Modern Languages, Science and Nature, Society, Study Skills, and Technology. I would particularly recommend the Care units in the Health & Lifestyle section if, indeed, a non-academic is allowed to do so.

There's an awful lot more, some of it less relevant to our curriculum. Go on. Discover! Remember learning for learning's sake?
