You can take many of them in real time and follow along with a class, with weekly lectures and assignments, and you even get a certificate of completion at the end. Or, you can look into the archive for a class that has already happened, and use the material at your own pace.
The courses cover loads of topics and disciplines, from medicine to computer science to nutrition, but I thought I'd share some links to ones that might be interesting for students of human evolution:(already started): Archaeology's Dirty Little Secret, Brown University
Beginning July 7th: A Brief History of Humankind, University of Jerusalem
Beginning August 19th: Animal Behaviour, University of Melbourne
Beginning January 3rd 2014: Introduction to Genetics and Evolution, Duke University
Beginning January 21st 2014: Human Evolution: Past and Future, University of Wisconsin-Madison
I've been perusing a course on Writing in the Sciences, which has video lectures of powerpoint presentations, led by an instructor, and I'm finding it really useful. I'm sure this course, Introduction to Public Speaking, might be useful for the student as well!
I've signed up for Human Evolution: Past and Future, which is being run by the lovely John Hawks of John Hawks' Weblog. You can read his posts about MOOCs, or 'Massive Open Online Courses" here: http://johnhawks.net/taxonomy/term/1380.
If you are searching for other courses that you can take online the Online Courses Australia offers the courses about human resources and Security courses. There are other courses that they offer that might interest you.
ReplyDeleteOne of the important notice is, students are given the opportunity to choose from various schools, programs and courses which are not available in the area where they live in. This is especially beneficial for those who live in rural areas that only have one or two educational facilities, which most of the time, offer limited course and program options for students.
