They've been offering free online courses for some time now. I've been a big fan.

Now MIT has announced they will supplement their free courses next year with certificates of completion. Not college credit, not a degree, not transferable. And there will be some minimal cost for the certificates, I guess. But still designed to keep very high-quality MIT courses available to whomever wants to take them online, plus a certificate of mastery at the end of it. Frankly, I think that would be great for use on a resume, or to file on your employment records with HR, etc. Plus, of course, the benefit of the knowledge itself.

Being educated is no guarantee of success. But being ignorant is a pretty good way to stay poor. Just food for thought.
