"MIT launches free online 'fully automated' course"

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-17012968

I thought this was very interesting any would bring some discussion. A free MIT certificate would be nice. I believe Tijke is studying electrical Engineering and I think you should try to take this challenge as it's free.

They have video recordings for the one class they are currently doing. It is under their MIT Open Course Ware which has a lot more than just an electronics class. http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/audio-video-courses/

I majored in Robotics and Communication Systems Engineering Technology. Wonder how long it will take to get a certificate.
Just finished signing up for it.

Thanks Cracky

I'm considering this

I signed up. This sounds awesome! I've always loved electronics and wish I knew more about it. I took an embedded systems courses in college where I built circuits with pic chips but other than that didn't really have time to delve deeply.

I also use to teach an online course CS 121 at UMass. I wonder how much this will differ and how far online courses have come.

I am excited for this. I am looking into it, I am actually going to get some books out and brush up on some of the equation stuff and what not to make sure I can still understand it enough to enjoy the class.
