SUCCESS!
I started my MOOC (MASSIVE ONLINE OPEN COURSE) in early April following a couple weeks of being in lockdown. Having started a MOOC the previous year that I did not complete I was determined to see this one through.
I am so glad I did! It was informative, enjoyable and not too demanding. I feel very proud of myself for seeing it through and I am ready to start looking for my next course to complete. I am not sure as yet whether to stick to the history theme or to explore some of the many other categories available. I will let you know!
In the meantime, if you have not yet had the courage to explore the website and start your own MOOC I would urge you to do so.
