(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Medford, N.J. - If your daughter would like to attend classes at MIT but isn't sure the admissions office will roll out the welcome mat, calm her fears. She can take courses through MIT's online OpenCourseWare, which is free and available to the public. All she has to do visit the site and begin taking a course.
"Many people associate computer time with gaming, watching inane videos and listening to or downloading music," says Anthony Mongeluzo, president of Pro Computer Service, which operates in four states. "But now you can listen and view a college-level class on virtually every topic without ever leaving home and go through the same curriculum that someone pays for. It's a fantastic educational experience and a painless way to enrich you intellectually."
MIT, Notre Dame, Tufts, the University of Michigan and 18 other schools are part of the OpenCourseWork Consortium (www.ocwconsortium.org), an international association involving 200 higher education institutions and organizations from around the world that have agreed to make available a minimum of 10 courses to foster further education.
These courses include text, video or both. Students do not earn a degree but do have access to the very same materials available to paying students. Courses you can take at MIT, with audio or video components, include: How to Develop "Breakthrough" Products and Services (Business); Exploring Black Holes: General Relativity & Astrophysics (Physics); and Weight Training (Athletics, Physical Education and Recreation).
While many people are familiar with YouTube.com as the ultimate snippet of the strange, the humorous and the wacky, its www.youtube.edu site boasts thousands of educational-related videos. While some are the usual snippets, others contain presentations or lectures lasting more than an hour. Just type in the subject that interests you.
"By literally pressing a few keys, you can satisfy your thirst for knowledge whether you live in Greater Philadelphia or a hamlet in the Southwest," says Mongeluzo. "All you need is a computer, an Internet connection and a thirst for learning. And it doesn't cost a penny."
Mongeluzo started Pro Computer Service in his parents' home at the age of 22, in 2002. Today, he has three locations and 19 employees and operates in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. His company has won numerous awards for being among the fastest-growing companies in the Delaware Valley during the past two years. www.procomputerservice.com
