I get their emails and have for a few years now but I haven't taken the time to actually do any of the courses. I was in a relationship that took up a lot of my time and energy (he had a personality disorder we didn't know about, recently broke it off) and now I'm working on getting back into the job market and finding a place to live. Once I get settled I think I'll be jumping on there. Some of their courses award certificates so I think it will be a good tool to add things to my resume after being a stay at home mother, then divorced, then living with someone for years without really working much outside the home. I'm two math classes away from my Associates (Paralegal) and I'm hoping to get those done as well. I did a lot of my Associates online so distance learning isn't something new for me. I highly recommend it if you have self discipline, actually. I was living in Southern California at the time and it was so much easier than fighting traffic to get to the college! There are a lot more colleges doing online programs these days than there were when I began mine.

Would if I had more free time / energy. Don't have much time for elective learning as I still work full time.

[edx.org] is similar and I've done one with them.

Thanks for the links...I'll check them out and get back you.

I am always reading and studying a few things. I just got done with the topic of slavery of women. It was promoted by my researching my own genealogy.

Hadn't heard of it. I'll check it out. I have used The Great Courses [www.thegreatcourses.com] which are very good. I have a few that I own but I have started borrowing them from my library.

No I haven't but am about to look into it, thanks for the link, I don't want any quals, useless at my age, but I will see if there are some interests of mine.

I've enrolled in a couple.
