MOOC or Massive Open On-line Courses, according to my favorite information resource, Wikipedia. (More on Wikipedia later) MOOC offers opportunity to explore some new ideas mostly for free. On this site, mooc-list.com I found courses on sustainable foods, Introduction to Public Speaking, Math refresher courses, etc.
The idea that today, immediately relevant information from reputable places like MIT is available to everyone with an internet connection, is ground-changing!
Ground-changing, is like the newly leveled playing field offered when just 'anyone' has access to what used to be reserved for elite.
If we all have access to high-level learning, then we can collectively work together to solve today's problems and change the path for tomorrow.
