On the radar

Here are a few courses I've noticed but haven't committed to yet (and couldn't possibly commit to all):

edX




Behavioural Medicine: a key to better health from the Karolinska Institute

English Grammar and Style from the University of Queensland


Transforming Business, Society and Self from MIT (because this sounds weird yet comes from MIT)

Coursera

Programmed cell death from LMU München

Emergence of Life from U. Illinois

Introductory human physiology from Duke University

Introduction to Systems Biology from Mount Sinai (I tried that one earlier in the year, and dropped it because I was too tired, too busy, and the course was too demanding. I am still interested in the whole Systems Biology specialization, but am more than a bit put off by the, erm, distinctive teaching style of this first course.)

Dinosaur Paleobiology from U. Alberta (yeah, in my heart I'm still a little boy with a fascination for ancient beasts reptiles creatures non-avian dinosaurs.)

Drug discovery, development and commercialization from UC San Diego

Social Network Analysis from U. Michigan (which uses Logo! Turtles all the way!!)

Climate Change from the University of Melbourne

FutureLearn

Hadrian's Wall: Life on the Roman Frontier from Newcastle University (where else?)




I will not, obviously, take all of them (the number of hours in a given week being, sadly, of limited elasticity). The ones I'm not likely to take, right now, are Biobased products at Delft and Emergence of Life at UI. I'll probably take one of the other of Physiology and Dinosaurs, too.
