edX is an online repository of educational courses covering a wide variety of subjects delivered by a number of recognised universities. All of the courses are free to take; if you choose to, you can pay to be assessed and receive a certificate.
I've compiled a list of those that may be of interest to the community:
Note that there are other courses including electronics, mathematics, signal analysis, computer programming and general physics that may be of interest so have a look.
