Online Learning Update

Connie Chen, New Haven Register
Learning a new topic, whether for a career move or an academic test, is no small feat.  The free and popular Coursera class “Learning How to Learn” makes the process easier and teaches students about the science of learning.  By understanding the underpinnings of how your brain works, processes information, and builds memory, you can successfully learn any subject you want. If you want to learn it, chances are you can find it online. Taken by more than 1.8 million students from 200 countries, one of the most popular online classes doesn’t teach skills like how to program and analyze data with Python or the basics of intellectual property law and policy. This 2018 best-selling class is offered by McMaster University and UC San Diego and taught by Dr. Barbara Oakley, an engineering professor at Oakland University, and Dr. Terrence Sejnowski, the computational neurobiology director at The Salk Institute for Biological Studies.
