It's no secret that, with the economy, many folks (especially those who are through with college) are moving their education to the realm of the Internet. Whether you're a student looking to learn more about a subject before taking a class to get a better grade more easily or an adult looking to enhance your skills before sending out resumes, there are a million different websites looking to teach you a million different subjects.
Why here? Why now?
I have spent more than a decade now connected to the Internet daily. My passion is to learn, especially linguistics and computer science. I learn about many things and have amassed a wealth of resources over the years. My other fulfillment in life comes from helping others and sharing with the world. Thus, when I find a great resource, I immediately email all my friends who share the interest.
That's why I started this blog: To create a community built around a list of the greatest resources for every subject imaginable. I hope with this site, many will join in the conversation, benefiting from others' input and providing their own.
Here's a great run-down of the pros and cons of learning online. There's an emphasis for degree-oriented goals there, but it's a good starting point for beginning the discussion of whether or not this is for you.
