Could you post a link? Thanks.

Marie, I have gotten those same catalogs~~they do have some fasinating sounding classes. I have never signed up for any, I am not sure if I would like doing an online class. I have seen some classes where you can interact with other students all on line.

What would you like to take??

found this....

Did you know you can take free courses from Yale? I'm sure some other universities offer similar online opportunities.

Free courses from Yale

My Son is taking a few courses....he's not home now or I would tell you the name... Corsair, maybe? They have been 'cutting edge", and full of the newest ideas and the best Professors. One was about the Brain another about behavioral psychology. Anyway, he really keeps MY mind going, when he tells me about these classes. It is amazing 'how much we have learned since my most recent studying in the old days of the 80"s & early 90's.

Yale does this through Coursera. But that is pretty limited. Try this on for size! when looking at Coursera's Partners:

I have purchased several of those courses, when they have the 70% off sales. The CD's are what I get. They are as though you were sitting in a professor's classroom. I have learned a lot from them. Most have several hours of class time, in half hour increments. I have ones on astrology, human body, art appreciation, Michelangleo, etc. All very good. I guess never having been to college, this is my way of trying to expand my knowledge in my old age.
Guidebooks are sent with the CD's too.

Thanks to all and not sure what I am looking for==maybe something fun, but educational--not sure. I do need help being a secretary as this is not my field, but have gotten stuck in two originations due to NO ONE else would take. Got myself a miniature recorder and with permission do tape the meeting, and take notes. Like I told one gal--improving with age LOL

And here's MIT's substantial offering. My DH spent a summer at MIT to catch up when he made the switch from pre-med to chemical engineering.

I took "The History of the World" at Coursera.
