The world of online education has developed considerably since I last checked five to ten years ago, and, having had an unexpected windfall, I am currently exploiting it to the full.
This has meant that I have postponed a lot of the stuff I was working on, in order to develop the next strands of work. Apologies if you were happy just with the old ones, but every so often I have to rampage off to learn something in order to develop the next chapter, so to speak.
I have managed to cobble together about 3000GBP worth of courses for around 200GBP, and look forward to using my new found skills during my next assault on the cold and stony heart of Mr Wolfe.
To avoid aging and becoming stale, I recommend that a personal review is done every five years or so, especially if you have ongoing creative work. Here are a few options, often free, for online learning:
EDX – courses from the World’s best universities
Coursera – free online courses
futurelearn – free online courses
Free Master’s Degrees in the EU
I am sure you could find more, but these are the ones I am working on at the moment. I will stop occasionally, but I need to get about 30 courses complete before the next stage of the project, and I have encouraged Twisty to do a few also, so I guesstimate that the first games will not be complete until June.
Do enjoy looking through the courses, and be aware if paying for a course, that if you would like more than one, they tend to send you special offers when you buy one, so be prudent!
