- Free as in freedom.
- A free learner may choose to purchase a course or some time with a tutor.
- All learning choices are ultimately made by the learner.
- There is no enforced curriculum, no homework and no tests.
- One of the core issues surrounding free learning is how to make it economically viable in the current economic system.
- This includes:
- How to support yourself while free learning.
- How to find a job or start a business without a diploma or degree.
- One of the goals of the United Network of Free Learners is to create economically viable free learning strategies.
