Non-Credit:
"The best of my education has come from the public library... my tuition fee is a bus fare and once in a while, five cents a day for an overdue book. You don't need to know very much to start with, if you know the way to the public library." ~Lesley Conger

The following represents online tutorials I have participated in and books I have read that were not required for any class. These venues of learning do not offer credit but do add to my knowledge base and help me to be a better teacher.
