I recently did a songwriting course with Future Learn via the University of Sheffield......really enjoyed it.
Nice to use the internet for learning for a change, i often wonder how many people waste such a huge educational oppurtunity online. Add up the hours we spend on sites that are unproductive, then imagine if we'd put that time into a course to further ourselves?
With the amount thats online for free, we should all be little Albert Einsteins

This is so much more positive than some other ways of spending time online.
I found this, "how to find sustainably made fabrics and ethical manufacturers" on the sustainable fashion page. The problem with that is there are huge frauds going on in the sustainable textiles world. Unfortunately the teachers will have been fooled by some of these frauds. There will be pressure to conform to the commercially tainted claims of what is sustainable.

What I'm saying is some of the stuff taught will be wrong.

Perhaps having the information free and easily accessible will encourage people to question the accuracy, while paying for education is more likely to produce graduates who want to believe all of it, because they paid for it.

“Perhaps having the information free and easily accessible will encourage people to question the accuracy, while paying for education is more likely to produce graduates who want to believe all of it, because they paid for it.” I totally agree with you Kester. I think students who are running out of time should have professional dissertation writers to help them in dissertation tasks.
