Open Learning Free Short Courses

[studiot 2210]

The Open University  (OU) lists over 900 free short courses in 8 categories.

In the Science category you can look at Babylonian Mathematics, Chemical in drinking water, antibiotic resistance, Toys & engineering materials, working on your own in mathematics, telescopes and spectrographs to name but a few.

Or you could learn/ brush up a new language in the language section

Something to do in theses Covid times for all ??

The OU courses are of excellent quality, so these are well worth looking at. I was impressed by the range that was available. Thanks for the heads up.

Thank you, studiot. I'm pinning this one up on the Science Education fridge with a magnet in the shape of a bulging brain.

If you are interested in Astronomy and Space I suggest  In the Night sky : Orion,   which is part of OpenLearn ( http://www.open.ac.uk/ ) from the OU, that covers a lot about stars, planets, star life cycles, and searching for exoplanets,  there is a lot of crossover with other courses,  which is sometimes a good thing,  But as this is longer then you will cover what is also in the shorter courses such as The Sun. 

And if you need to discuss something further you could always ask here on the forum.
