Learning How to Learn: Powerful mental tools to help you master tough subjects by the University of California, San Diego on Coursera Continuing my MOOC series, I am taking the lazy approach and reblog from myself, since I have already written about this course last year. Actually, I would only do that, if Tumblr let me. I keep forgetting that you are not allowed to reblog from yourself… Anyway, I copy myself instead. This post is actually very current, since the next session is starting this week, so you are well in time to join! I sincerely recommend you do…
The Global Student’s Introduction to US Law by Levin College of Law, University of Florida on Coursera I am back with my MOOC series, I know I promised it would take only a few weeks, I just didn’t have the time to continue for a while.

Confession: I love MOOCs. In fact, I love every kind of opportunity to learn something. And if it is available for free on the internet, anytime one has the time for it, just the better. Isn’t it? I hear the opinions that there is no real innovation behind the idea of MOOCs, since there are many online materials these days by universities available on the internet, you just have to look for them, learn them, same result.
