Mine has the one that colon krapernick issed forth from. The liberalism and ignorance is almost audible emanating from there.

These courses are collectively called MOOCS or Massive Open Online Courses.

The folks who program the courses are Massive Open Online Programmers, or MOOPS.

How much is the tuition per course (or credit hour) at Udemy and Coursera? Do you have to buy text books too?

I audited a number of classes from Dallas Theological Seminary, Reformed Theological Seminary, and BiblicalTraining.org.

III Mil also has some courses that might be of interest. http://elearning.thirdmill.org/

I think being able to take difficult classes for audit is a better way to go. It may take longer, but it helps master the material.

Udemy courses go on sale for $9.99 each a few times a year. They are delivered by video with lifetime access. Hundreds, if not thousands of courses. You can browse Udemy.com to see what's there. I consider them the Uber of online courses. Anyone can create a course and make it available to anyone on earth. There is a rating system similar to amazon. Most courses have a few modules available for free preview. There are also a few free courses, usually an intro. All courses have a 30 day refund policy.

I am very satisfied with Udemy. I have no experience with Coursera.

“Do they give credit toward a degree for completion of these courses?”

Several universities offer an option of a specialized “Certificate” in certain areas for a small fee. Some of these courses are full semester with a lot of intense study and work. I did a Medical Neuroscience course through Coursera that was actually taught by Duke University. It was fabulous as it was taught as a learning diagnostic tool by providing symptoms and you were to identify the most likely area of the brain damaged but also the reverse by providing a damaged area and you needed to identify the symptoms. All for free.

Actually, you are not that far off. The prepper in me thinks there could be a lot of good stuff here in that regard. I would be interested in courses in EMT training, farming and gardening and especially any trade classes in carpentry and construction. I’m pretty weak in these areas and just a first year 101 level introduction would be worth checking out. In the area of gunsmithing, my buddy and I just got a Lee 5 station press for loading ammo. After about 8 hours spent getting the thing all set up and calibrated we think we’re ready for our first run this weekend. That was a long frustrating process and THANK GOD for YouTube “how-to” videos.

That’s the problem. Most of those complaining that a college education costs too much don’t have the motivation to do it when it’s free.

Education is one thing.
Certification is another.

Udemy is 100% streaming/online. No books. Sometimes there are PDFs to download.

$15 - 30 has been normal for my picks. Sometimes there is a special.
