Over 800 Free College Courses from Leading Universities

by grade· college

16 Oct

Update 2023: The free courses have expired. The links below go to other free college courses that I’ve found. – Lori

Coursera is no longer free, usually.  But, as I write during the quarantine, it is free, as a way to help others out. University and college students who enroll by July 31, 2020, will have free access through September 30, 2020. For non-college students: “To help everyone keep learning, we’ve extended the offer to earn a free certificate in 100+ courses through July 31, 2020.”

 

 

At Coursera, there are many college-level courses beginning in the next couple of weeks.

At Coursera, dozens of universities offer hundreds of courses ranging from guitar to chemistry, from physiology to language, and from art appreciation to business management. The courses begin at a certain date and run for a certain length of time. The student learns at his or her own pace, but assignments are collected.  Certificates are given for completed courses (but no college credit).   And..all the courses are free! 

The courses may be taken by anyone over 13 years of age, but are created for the college level students, so they would be best for those who are in upper high school.

Use them as an excellent sample of college work load for your high schooler, or to complete credits, or even to increase your own knowledge!

Balancing Homeschooling while Working From Home

At times, well-intentioned advice suggests that dedicating an entire day to homeschooling leaves no room for a job during regular hours. This is not necessarily so. My husband and I owned a garden center for a few years while also homeschooling. After that, I had an online business while homeschooling. We did not “only work … Read More about Balancing Homeschooling and Working From Home – a Realistic Approach

making the transition from public school to homeschool

We did what you’re doing, or thinking about doing. Our eldest two went to public school in our little town, and it was just fine, we didn’t have any problems, but I missed them. Also, it was a hassle packing up the baby and toddler to commute the school kids from two different school locations, … Read More about Going from Public School to Home School? Here’s My Advice
