The folks at GetEducated.com have done it again. Now they have a great article on their website listing some free online classes that can help you keep your job or find a new one if you have been one of the millions of Americans who have been laid off this past year.

These are classes in some of the hottest areas in our economy like iPhone application creation. And, these classes are brought to you by some of the leaders in education, both online and at brick and mortar institutions such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and others.

I like this post a lot! I love finding online education resources, especially for things that I want to learn about (Like live mocha for languages). Open source education is growing so fast that there is not much that you can not learn for cheap or even free!
