All Write, Already!

     There has been a rash of groups putting college level courses online for free.  Since they are free, they don't provide any college credit but I have found myself spending a lot of time thumbing through them web site and becoming more and more excited about the offering I am finding.
     I just don't understand why?  Am i harboring a secret desire to go back to school?  Is it simply my love to learn new things?  Is there some kind of hope within myself that these courses can lead to a change in my current employment?
    I guess I need to pick a course and explore these options and see what comes of it.
