Are you looking to do some self-directed learning? Consider a MOOC!
MOOCs are courses delivered online and accessible to all for free. MOOC stands for massive open online course:
- Massive because enrollments are unlimited and can run into hundreds of thousands.
- Open because anyone can enroll — that is, there is no admission process.
- Online because they are delivered via the internet.
