Free Genealogy Course for Beginners

Family Tree University is offering a new free course for beginning genealogists:
Discover Your Family Tree: Genealogy for the Absolute Beginner

I have do not have experience with any of the Family Tree University courses, but this may be a good overview for those new to genealogy. It is an online course where you download the lessons and complete them over two weeks. At the end of each lesson there is an exercise to complete, and then you receive feedback via email from the instructor. The first session of this course will begin on Monday, October 11, 2010.

Here is the course description from the Family Tree University Web site:
