Is anyone else getting tired of the constant stream of FREE online courses?
There are so many great always-free tutorials/courses on these topics (Khan Academy etc.) that I'm struggling to see how these temporarily-free courses could really be regarded as bargains.
And I will add that I mean no disrespect to the OP, who regularly posts good deals.
Why not just ignore them? e.g. I see a lot of posts on headphones, and that doesn't interest me much .. so I just look past them and understand that someone else is into it.
(Note, I did not neg you).
I do that, too… but some -regional- deals could be filtered out, eg, using our registered locations.
I don't need to read/ignore, eg, deals for Qld residents.
I have to agree in this particular case. This "free course" selection (at least the one or two that I looked over) seem to be just free information, rather than actual courses. There is no assessment or coursework so how can these be considered courses? If this is truly just information, then we should consider the fact that there are lots of free and credible sources of information online, but I don't think all of them should be touted as free courses on OzB.
A course is a course. It doesn't need to have any graded assessments or homework. It'd be better if it did, but if there were it'd likely not be available all year round because there would need to be staff members online periodically to check and grade assessments, and provide feedback.
Besides, many private tutoring colleges in Australia offer pretty much the same kind of content except they charge you an arm and a leg for it, and the teachers are so half-assed in teaching that you might as well do some free self-learning online.
If a course doesn't include any quizzes or other assessments, one can just find a book on the topic & use its questions… best if the book incudes answers, of course.
Another great post, WNK, thanks!
These seem harder to d'load than, say, Khan Academy's all videeo ones
(except Maths, for which KA also has Practice & Coach modes).
How to access from where Internet isn't [cheap or available]?
PS KA's courses + free [modifiable] eTextBooks from cK12.org
seem & remain a reasonable compromise, at the moment.
If you install a Windows program called Free Download Manager (as the name implies, it's free, open source and I've been using the same piece of software for 3 years now) you can download embedded Adobe Flash videos.

And as for the text it wouldn't be hard to just copy and paste the text into a Word document. Or just CTRL+S save as a HTML only web page.
Welcome back WNK, some new UDEMY Deals would be awesome.
