When the coronavirus first began claiming the world’s
attention, I wondered
whether the increased exposure to online learning would create new habits that
outlive the pandemic.
In multiple
blog posts since then, I’ve shared edutainment
resources that have been made available
for free during
the time of coronavirus. The time of
pandemic continues to provide valuable online resources for free use during
these days of shelter-in-place and physical distancing. Here’s a sampling of what’s come to my
attention over the past few weeks:
Coursera
Workforce Recovery Initiative:
Coursera is offering 3800 of their courses and 400 specializations for
free to all levels of government to help their unemployed residents re-train
and gain meaningful employment.
Enrollment is open until 9/30/20 (government agency has to enter into
agreement with Coursera, Coursera then makes courses available); learners need
to complete the courses by 12/31/20.
Udacity
is offering free online re-training programs for one month: data science, programming, artificial
intelligence, autonomous systems, cloud computing, business..
Robot
tours of museums: The first museum
to offer this is Hastings
Contemporary Museum (Hastings Old Town, Sussex, England), but maybe it will
catch on elsewhere.
Read books for free from multiple sources:
·
Check your local library for their e-book
selection

content, please wear a mask and wash your hands often.

Thanks for sharing this article. You can also include Khan Academy in your list. I love Khan Academy because the math videos are absolutely amazing. I read it on another blog that 90% of the videos are taken in a single shot. Just imagine, how much hard work these guys are putting in.
Well, I appreciate your efforts in creating this post however I believe you should take the time and elaborate Vero Beach Tutoring
