MOOCs

To keep my brain busy I've been doing a MOOC, no not the latest dance/exercise craze, but a Massive Open Online Course, organised by the Open University with many other reputable universities with expertise in particular fields. I've just finished "Introduction to Ecology", fascinating, loads of interesting new stuff. The only small criticism is the estimate of 3 hours/week. It's taken at least 3 times that, without being totally obsessional. It could easily be full time. I'm starting one on Deep Oceans nows, then I might try something literary. Everyone should try one.
