David, I have heard recently about this trend where quite a few universities are offering courses for free online.  And some of these are large, well-known universities. Of course they don't offer credit for free.  But for a person with the right motivation, it is a tremendous opportunity to learn and increase valuable skills.

You might not earn credit but most have a certification on completion and some organizations are beginning to recognizing it as CE credit.
