[Ohiogift] MOOCs: Class Central

[Gifted and Talented in Ohio Discussion List]

      Friends:
 
 Gifted students sometimes augment their learning with free online coursework via a number of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), and now there is a new resource for those wishing to explore this universe: Class Central.
 
 Class Central is an aggregator of hundreds of free online classes from 397+ universities, all listed and linked. There are 42 providers, such as Coursera, edX, Stanford OpenEdx, and others, including those from literally around the world, from Tokyo to France. Listings are continually updated, too. (Courses also can be taken for official university credit, and these generally are fee-based.)
 
 The vast majority of subject courses are in English, but about a dozen other languages are represented. The main website:
