The following is the studies page that was originally accessible on my Ways 2 Interface site.
The studies page listed all the MOOCs and courses I was undertaking during the period when my Postgraduate 2.0 Studies was gradually evolving into my MTA Portfolio.
The studies page listed all the MOOCs and courses I was undertaking during the period when my Postgraduate 2.0 Studies was gradually evolving into my MTA Portfolio.
Essentially, this studies page represents a very crude version of what ibuiltmyown.education and its module pages have now become regarding the listing of all the MOOCs I have undertaken as part of my MTA Portfolio.
Ultimately, having this page on Ways 2 Interface became redundant when I started to envision ibuiltmyown.education.
However, this studies page now represents a footprint of what my postgraduate studies looked like between 2013 and 2016 and my thinking behind them…
My Studies: thinking outside of the box
What follows are mainly all the MOOCs/online courses I have been taking since October 2013. Additionally, there are details on my education prior to undertaking my MOOC studies and other independent research.
Some courses were completed in a fixed time period and others I am still dipping into on a self-paced basis.
Current priorities…
