**Cornell University Offers Free Online Learning Sessions Through eCornell**

Cornell University in Ithaca has announced a range of free and accessible online learning opportunities through its platform, eCornell. The program features various educational content, including more than 240 certificate programs, executive education modules, and free one-off sessions called "Keynotes."

Keynotes are 30-60-minute online lectures, panel discussions, and studio sessions led by Cornell faculty. According to Paul Krause, eCornell's executive director and Cornell’s vice provost for external education, these sessions cover a broad spectrum of topics and are designed to engage alumni, industry professionals, and anyone interested in learning without requiring the time commitment of a full course.

The Keynotes are available in both video and podcast formats. Topics include investment strategies, coding, creative writing, beekeeping, craft brewing, and other areas of interest. These free sessions provide an opportunity for a global audience to connect with Cornell expertise remotely.

A full archive of the Keynotes, including recordings of live and studio events, is available for interested learners. More details can be found at [eCornell's Keynotes webpage](https://alumni.cornell.edu/cornellians/ecornell-keynotes/).
