A Large Group of MOOCs

[citrakayah]

I've been taking a few MOOCs lately. The quality... does not greatly impress me. The ecology ones I've taken have actually been fine, the humanities ones not so much. Despite being less familiar with the humanities than my own field, the humanities ones--at least so far--have been far more basic and far easier. A week's section has maybe twenty minutes of video, and that's it.

They're free, so I'm not inclined to complain much (you can pay to get a certificate, but I don't feel it's very much worth it). It's just a little disheartening that even courses by very good universities can be so very superficial at times.
