The catch with these free courses is that they don't include certificate of completion or graded assignments and exams. But you can still enroll at any time and start learning at your own pace.

1. Wow, thanks

I've usually taken Coursera classes but some of these are intriguing.

Coursera free classes also don't include certificates of completion but they do offer quizzes which are helpful for ensuring you've learned what you were meant to.

2. You can pay to get a certificate with Harvard X class.

I've taken two. One (philosophy) I didn't complete an because it was not well designed/run. But the other (computer science) was every bit as good as Sunday courses I've paid to take.
