Free Stuff that Makes You Smarter


I am always on the lookout for things to improve our Bible College and get our Seminary off to a good start. It is a great feeling when all that looking finally pays off.

I came across some free college level material. Even better, it is in the form of FREE AUDIO LECTURES. They are donated by various colleges on a wide range of subjects and are available free of charge through Yahoo (http://podcasts.yahoo.com/) and also at I-Tunes in the educational podcast section of their online store.

We want to have a “Distance Learning” capability for working men who cannot attend day classes and for potential students who cannot get Visas to attend our Puerto Rico Baptist College. We also get English speaking students who do not speak Spanish well enough to take our regular classes and then we must make special arraignments for them until they get their language up to speed. The discovery of low cost materials we can use as part of an independent study program is a great find. Besides, it is fun to burn them onto CDs and listen to free stuff that makes you smarter during those long rush hour commutes.

If you find any resources that we could use, let us know. We need your help and input! We also invite you to become part of our future online, distance-learning-capable seminary. We hope to hear from you soon, as a supporter, prayer partner or student!
