Hi, just wanted to share this free resource, in case anyone is interested.
https://www.edx.org/course-list/allschools/allsubjects/allcourses
I came across this one via facebook (someone shared it I think) and I enrolled some time ago, but the course has just started, week two has just been uploaded so it is still possible to catch up if anyone is interested.
ANTH207x: Introduction to Human Evolution
(https://www.edx.org/course/wellesley/anth207x/introduction-human-evolution/873)
There is quite a lot of detail for those, like me, who have never formally studied this subject. I have pages of notes already and am just finishing week one! Got to do a test now... and its GRADED! Yikes!
There are a fair few other courses that look interesting. I noticed one about the Letters of Paul which some here might also like.
https://www.edx.org/course/harvard-university/hds1544-1x/early-christianity-letters-paul/927 (Starts in Jan 2014)

Added, there is a facebook page associated with the course I am doing, of those who have joined there are people from 83 countries from over 1100 members! Includes 23 people from UK, 223 from US.

Thanks Blue that's really useful.

Found this about a year ago and bookmarked it on Firefox's Fast Dial, only to loose access to Fast Dial so thanks for 'finding it' for me again, blue.

I would also recommend the Coursera courses at https://www.coursera.org/courses and the Yale lectures on the Old and New Testaments which can be found on YouTube.

These are excellent. I studied Bronze-age archaeology with them.

I'm currently taking a diplona course in Egyptology run jointly by Liverpool Uni and the OU.
I recently completed a similar course in Celtic and Medieval Scottish Studies run jointly through OU and Stirling Unis.
Both courses are/were mainly online.

That's brilliant! What a studious lot we are! 8)
If anyone wants to add anything sooner or later, please share.
:)
(I have done my week one test and only got 6/10 - mostly down to misreading the questions! Reminds me of old policy from when I started CIMA - RTFQ!)
-
Blue, would you like me to make this a sticky so it is available as a permanent resource?
-
It might be worth it Rhi, if you think it will useful, and it will save me having to bump it! The online courses on my link start at various times; the one I referred to starts in Jan 2014! Good thinking!, thanks! xx

Done!
Over on the pagan topic we also have a recommended reading sticky. Anyone can create similar resource threads elsewhere on the board and ask for them to be made sticky. That way they won't disappear during housekeeping!

There are many on this forum who would benefit from https://www.coursera.org/course/intrologic :)

Of course, there are quite a few freebie things on the Open University OpenLearn website. I did 'sign up' for a few of these, but they are still pending....

Remember that. should the need arise (as in my case), the OU will co-operate with another university to offer a specialised course.

This was a fun thing that someone on my course posted.

Interesting and I intentionally went down the route of two species to see the case against it - if there was.

So I just found this:
http://academicearth.org
It has a lot of courses from American Universities too. Personally, I quite fancy the "Ancient and Medieval Philosophy" course offered by University of Notre Dame.

I finished my MOOC today - right on the closing day, with an overall score of 85% so I am chuffed to bits!
Signed up for a Coursera "Introduction to Genetics and Evolution" which is now on week 2, and another which hasn't started yet "Human Evolution: Past and Future" which starts in 10 days!
