Universities With the Best Free Online Courses
No tuition money? No problem! There are many top universities that offer free courses online. This list ranks some of the best free university courses for people who want to enhance personal knowledge or advance in their current field.
I've spent a number of hours listening and viewing a few of the courses over at UC Berkley, and there are definite merits for users.
The University of Southern Queensland is actually on the list, which is interesting since I've recently read a paper on some of their IT Governance and Management efforts.
They even have an online course that should be relevant to many Governments in the Pacific:
Communications, Technology and Policy
Technological change has had major impacts upon the modes of transmission, processing and storage of information and electronic forms of communication. This course explores the social and policy implications of the digitisation of Australian (and international) telecommunications and broadcasting. Specific policy and technology themes and debates will be selected to illustrate the choices facing the information society. The course will also examine media discourses of communication technology.
Course objectives
On successful completion of this course students will be able to:
- explain how the means of communication are shaped by complex social factors;
- understand the impact of communication technologies on government policy and planning;
- understand the impacts of contemporary means of communication on politics, culture and the economy
- analyse the changing nature of media and communication institutions from a number of theoretical perspectives;
- engage critically with media discourses of communication and information technology.
