The process of teaching yourself through independent study and self-directed learning rather than formal schooling.
From 'auto-' (self) and 'education' (from Latin 'educare,' to lead out). This term became popular in the 20th century as distance learning and self-study became recognized as legitimate learning methods.
Some of the world's most successful entrepreneurs and scientists were autoeducated—they taught themselves through books, experiments, and passion. YouTube and the internet have made autoeducation so powerful that you can become an expert in almost anything from your bedroom!
