Coursera

“less time lecturing at students but more time igniting the creativity, imagination and problem solving skills by talking with them.”

This was an interesting TED talk by the person who helped create Coursera – free online courses. I have explored a number of these courses. Technology is amazing for learning. I don’t have to leave my home to learn. I don’t have to leave my family to learn.

With free on line learning:

Education is a fundamental human right

Life long learning – you can continue learning through out your life

Wave of innovation – everyone could learn and explore, not just those that can afford to attend university and higher education facilities.

I know I appreciate the opportunities that I can now find online.
