Editor's Notes
- If you need to learn something very specific, Khan academy is great (although they have full courses as well) For example: if I want to just learn how to implement a Binary Search, I would go to Khan and see if there was an article or video The videos are broken down in small chunks and are transcribed for those who have hearing issues. you can track your progress if you want to take a complete course.
- Sign in and show them the beginnings of whatever the featured course is (today it is HTML/CSS): Show them that it is not just that you are watching, you are doing as well, so it is more in depth than Khan Academy You get a badge for completing your course which you can place on LinkedIn VERY effective way to learn technology topics
- Click through and go to Developers > Mobile Developers
- Describe moocs and let them know that one of the advantages is that they are delivered by universities Many are self-paced Edx.org is a good resource for moocs because it is run by universities, and is a non-profit, open source org Show them some of the courses, but also show them that edx.org has programs (certificates)
