The Best Internet Courses

[Bodhitree]

I was wondering what people’s experiences are with doing courses on the Internet?

Recently I have discovered BBC Maestro, their tagline is “Learn From The Best” and they have some pretty interesting stuff. I have been doing a writing and storytelling course by Alan Moore which I have found pretty gripping, it’s helped me significantly improving my understanding of language.

The BBC Maestro courses are available through a yearly subscription, €78 gets you a whole year’s access to all the courses which works out as a pretty good deal if you want to follow more than one. I thought I might do one course a month or so.

But this whole thing of courses which are made from video segments has been around for a while, and all kinds of places try to aggressively sell you on an expensive course. I was just wondering what people have found to be worth their while (and their money)?

I don’t mean a whole university course. In the Netherlands it is considered very normal to continue learning throughout your career, with small courses, trainings, refreshers, retreats and so on. So these internet courses where you view maybe 5-6 hours of video content fit right into that.

There are probably too many internet training sites to list. It depends on the topic - lots of questions about the best video editing training sites. Coursera site has various training videos from full Stanford University courses to shorter courses such as Google's "Google Prompting Essentials", whatever that is.
