Try a MOOC

You might want to consider the issues raised in this very clear BBC article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-23069542  before trying it for yourself and if you're unclear about what a MOOC is you can watch this video:





Here are a few that I thought might appeal if you do want to give it a go:

Teaching in higher education 101 (Coursera)

e-learning and digital cultures (Coursera)

World War 2 (Harvard)

or less HE

adding two digit numbers and a whole bunch of maths (Khan Academy)

essay and report writing  (OU) 

Directly related to teacher education 

Teachers sharing resources online (OU)

Inclusive education (OU)






MOOCs

What better way than to define this phenomenon than with an infographic. This one comes from here: http://www.onlinecolleges.net/
