With Academic Earth, anyone almost anywhere can get an education. The internet makes this possible and the site makes great use of this resource by making available top educators to anyone for free. Top-rated universities are included along with a myriad of subjects. It deserves to be rated as one of the 50 best websites of 2009 by Time Magazine.
The site is open to content from educators. Richard Ludlow is the founder and CEO of the site. He came up with the concept while at Yale studying international development.
On-line education is a concept I appreciate as I obtained my MBA this way as a single mom. It would have been extremely challenging to work full-time, care for a child and go to school any other way. I was able to structure my coursework the best way possible to tend to all commitments. It was a juggling act, but I got it done.
