Below is a list of free and paid courses by subject. These will mostly be online only courses for general learning, certificates or continuing education credits. I will be adding courses as I come across them or reviewing them so check back now and then. I hope this proves useful to everyone.
Certificate vs Diploma : It can be confusing differentiating between a certificate or a diploma. In general a certificate means you have completed a course for a specific purpose for which no further credit beyond the certification is granted. There are exceptions to this and I note those when present. A diploma course indicates that the subject matter has been taught at a deeper level than a certificate. Diploma graduates may also receive some kind of educational credit. Diploma course are more likely to have some accreditation from a country's educational authority.
Terminology (in alphabetical order) :
Live = Instructor led sessions via Skype, chat or similar webinar format.
Mentored = An instructor may not have live classes but is available offline via email or call.
On Demand = Lessons are delivered via video that students can access at any time.
Self-Paced = Students decide how fast or how slow to proceed through the class.
Textual = Instruction is via text with little to no multimedia elements.
