First free online university

thanks, Brendan!

The United Nations Global Alliance for Information and Communication Technology and Development (GAID...and you wondered why they used acronyms!) has announced the world's first free online university, the University of the People.

Admission has already opened and already 200 students from around the world have registered. Students must have a high school diploma and be proficient in English.

The only charge to students is a $15 to $50 admission fee (depending on country of orgin) and a processing fee for every test.
