Learn new skills for free with MOOCs

in moocs •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hey Steemians. I think most of you will already know about this but for those of you that have not yet stumbled across this thing called MOOCs here is some info:

https://www.mooc-list.com/

Massive Online Open Courses allow you to study things that you find interesting without having to pay any fee. The courses include a lot of Computer Science related stuff as well as anything else you could enjoy. Just check it out.

The lectures are provided by top tier universities like MIT (also Media Lab), Stanford and 100s more - some even offer a certification which is obviously not worth as much as a degree but will still show your commitment. Having a certification by MIT for example will always look better than not having one.


Also: Learning new skills for free is a nice thing anyway, even more so since learning a lot in your life is shown to drastically reduce your chances of getting Alzheimer's so learn away steemians!
