The current state of affairs in the world has led to
more people being home and a sense of cabin fever for those who perhaps can't
or shouldn't go out. That doesn't mean that your time at home has to be
fruitless.
Online education is a fast growing field that allows
for flexibility toward learning and a wealth of knowledge. Often you register
for free and find classes for free as well. There are several sites, and I'm
going to list some here so that those who are looking to keep busy and feel a
sense of accomplishment can build on their current skillset or learn something
new.
GOODWILL
Online classes are available for free. Learn basics of
technology, work, core skills, reading and math and more. Copy and paste or
click on the link: https://edu.gcfglobal.org/en/
ALISON
There are plenty of free online courses available,
though not all are free. You need to register with an email address to take
classes.
There are a variety of courses within the various topics of Technology,
Science, Health, Humanities, Language, Business, Math, Marketing and Lifestyle.

EdX gives you access to some of the best schools in
the country. There are several free courses to choose from and the topics are
wide ranging. Not all classes are free and again you need to register an email
address.
Here you can learn topics including Business and Management, computer
science, data science, Engineering, language, and humanities:

Two last ones I'd like to mention which may be of
interest are:
Coursera: https://www.coursera.org/
FutureLearn: https://www.futurelearn.com/
You can register from free with both of these, but you
must do some searching if you're interested in auditing a course. There are
some great choices though if you're interested in paying to pursue a diploma,
certificate, or degree through them.
Hopefully, this has given those of you reading, ideas
in how to move forward in your life, pursuing a path that will lead you to a
more prosperous future. This current crisis will pass, and online classes are a
great way to feel empowered in your life.
Happy Learning,
Mary
