You just have to explore the opportunities, because each program is structured a little differently and each instructor has a somewhat different approach to teaching on these platforms. (In my experience, you have to be ready to try out a few classes just to see how they work and find the best fit for you.)<br /><br />One of my main hobbies is computer programming, so I have been having a blast with the MOOCs! I took a game programming class in the fall through Coursera/Rice University, and I am just now finishing up a general computer science course through edX/MITx. Can't wait for the certificate with the name MITx on it! ;) I am planning to try the global poverty course, as well — international development and humanitarian aid are my favorite professional subjects.<br /><br />The best thing about MOOCs is that they are continuing to grow and develop. Even if the subjects are currently more math and science oriented, we can see other subjects starting to pop up and can expect more growth in those areas as demand for them grows.Rachel M.http://www.mcrobertstranslations.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618029197139250711.post-29107652744998323012013-01-09T09:38:25.927-08:002013-01-09T09:38:25.927-08:00Thanks for this link!
