Free Online Course - making full use of free resources
This week I will be talking about the benefits of online courses, and listing out couple of sites that provide amazing free online courses from great universities.
So, the advantages of these online courses…
For the most obvious - it is free. I mean, what is better than freely access courses in amazing universities like Harvard, UCB and more?
For high school students - it’s a great way for you to find your interest and think about what you wanna pursue in the future. You may be stuck now thinking, hey, what should i do in uni/college?? Well, you may just as well have a taste of courses in different fields here and see if any of these appeal to you.
For college/uni students - it allows you to learn more, and widen your perspective (and help you to get a better gpa?). There may be courses that you are interested at but can’t really take it in college, or there may be courses that is relevant to your field and so you can explore more (which probably may boost your grades)
These courses are super well organised and flexible - they are all scheduled and the courseware is really nice and sufficient - if they are courses that have ended, you can just do it whenever you want to. If they are courses that are going on / about to start - you can either follow the schedule offered or again, just have your own schedule. Basically you can take the course whenever and wherever you want.
And here are the free online courses’ sites options:
edX - they have an app on iphone to view the courseware/videos too
Some of these are certified which means you can actually earn a certificate after completing the course which you may put in your CV/resume.
On top of the above, you can also browse through iTunes U. There are also tons of great podcast that are all very informative.

Let’s strive for the best! x
