在过去的十年中，在线学习计划在选择课程方面变得越来越全面，在介绍课程方面变得越来越复杂，最近宣布了一些联盟和创业活动，承诺使互联网上的大学教育成为真实的可能性。在这个关键时刻，它是适当的，以探讨获得全面的生物信息学培训与现有的免费视频资源的潜力。本文介绍了这样一个生物信息学课程的形式，一个虚拟的课程目录，连同编辑评论，并评估的优势，劣势，并可能在这一领域的开放式在线学习的未来方向。
Online learning initiatives over the past decade have become increasingly comprehensive in their selection of courses and sophisticated in their presentation, culminating in the recent announcement of a number of consortium and startup activities that promise to make a university education on the internet, free of charge, a real possibility. At this pivotal moment it is appropriate to explore the potential for obtaining comprehensive bioinformatics training with currently existing free video resources. This article presents such a bioinformatics curriculum in the form of a virtual course catalog, together with editorial commentary, and an assessment of strengths, weaknesses, and likely future directions for open online learning in this field.
