Ways 2 Interface: My Postgraduate 2.0 Studies Page

Sunday 21 July 2024

My Postgraduate 2.0 Studies Page

The following is the studies page that was originally accessed via the page tab under the banner for the Ways 2 Interface blog.

The studies page listed all the MOOCs I was studying between 2013 and 2015 as part of what was then known as my postgraduate 2.0 studies.

It also included my education prior to my postgraduate pursuits.

My postgraduate 2.0 studies later morphed into my MTA Portfolio which is now housed on its own website: ibuiltmyown.education.

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...
