You don’t have to pursue a degree to learn online, all you need to do is be a consumer. RadioShack and Powered Inc. are teaming up to offer consumer electronics education programs on RadioShack’s website. The courses, which are absolutely free, include topics such as choosing the right computer, satellite radio, home theater system, setting up and configuring HDTV systems and cropping photographs. The courses will have staggered start and end dates in October and November. Biz Journals reports:

“Customers give credit to RadioShack for its knowledgeable sales associates who help them understand new technologies and select the best solutions for their individual needs,” said Cara Kinzey, RadioShack’s senior vice president-information technologies. “We’re now bringing that distinctive world-class customer service to online shoppers as well.”
