Today is Monday, meaning that I get to take a break from freelance writing, hop in my car, and meet with a group of likeminded creative writers and talk about esoteric topics in a little place known as grad school.

Okay, so sometimes that experience is more like this: I have tear myself away from my real work, dress up, fight Atlanta traffic, dodge college Freshmen hanging out in the crosswalks, and then think about work for three hours while I should be discussing esoteric topics with a group of likeminded creative writers.

Either way, school is school, and it’s good for me. And it’s good for you, too! So today I wanted to share a post from AccreditedOnlineColleges.org:

50 Awesome Open Courses for Web Writers

There are courses from MIT, SUNY, the University of Virginia and even the BBC on topics from basic writing to understanding cultural perceptions.

The only downside is that because these courses are “open” you only get access to course materials and not the instructors, classmates, and feedback that characterize traditional university courses. Still, we’re freelance writers – we’re used to working alone and at our own pace.

Check out the list. I can almost guarantee you’ll see something that you want or need to know more about. Why not set aside a little time every day to learn something for free?
