New Opportunities for Life-Long Learning

This is a great piece from the Sunday NY Times about the experience of online learning opportunities, like the Coursera classes that both Stacey and Hans have checked out.  While it doesn't offer any groundbreaking insight, I found it a particularly compelling advertisement for these content providers.  It seems like such offerings could be a tremendous addition to our individual Professional Development plans -- something that I hope to encourage many of our colleagues to develop in a more formal way in the year ahead.
