I’m getting addicted to this! You will be memerized by MOOCs if you do it right. You can take notes to different courses; you can write down your understanding immediately when coming across something enlightening; fellowing classmates are always there to help you in the discussion forum if certain contents puzzle you. Sometimes comments from the instructors, too. Really impressive!

I’m retired in my 70s and also a huge fan of MOOCs. There are two big obstacles in front of aged learners: declining memory and lack of computer proficiency. But we still have two magic keys: plenty of time and no distractions. I’m growing addicted to MOOCs in my declining years as young people to their phones.
I have never received any university education, and never had a chance to attend a lecture. I got my two bachelor’s degrees only through Self-Taught Higher Education Examinations. I don’t know if you can imagine how exhilarating I was to see so many courses provided by so many universities that I had once dreamed of. It was as if a child who had never seen a single candy was suddenly plunged into a pool of tempting candies…

I used to working as a technician in construction sites for almost three years, and always wanted to improve myself in management. One day, I came across management courses on the MOOC platform, which help me become a manager. MOOCs give me a new stage of life!
