Coursera


Coursera is a wonderful idea on online learning or education. It offers a lot of courses like Humanities, Medicine, Biology, Social Sciences, Mathematics, Business, Computer Science, and many others. 

I am currently enrolled 5 coureses and soon another one will be added. There are some coureses I had to drop because of Math and because the content is too hard.

It is a challenge for me to do some of the coureses and I think that is where the fun is, putting a challenge on yourself to be a lifetime learner.
According to their site:

We are a social entrepreneurship company that partners with the top universities in the world to offer courses online for anyone to take, for free. We envision a future where the top universities are educating not only thousands of students, but millions. Our technology enables the best professors to teach tens or hundreds of thousands of students.
Through this, we hope to give everyone access to the world-class education that has so far been available only to a select few. We want to empower people with education that will improve their lives, the lives of their families, and the communities they live in.
So I encourage you to try online learning.
