Harvard University might seem like a mystical place that is out of reach for mere mortals, but that's not the case.

A wide range of online classes from Harvard University are available to take through edX. Anyone can enrol, and some of the best courses are even available for free. That might sound too good to be true, but there really isn't a catch. Sure, some of these courses are not exactly beginner-friendly, but if you have a genuine passion for a subject, this could be the perfect opportunity to pursue that passion.

This list was curated by Mashable and you can enrol for free and start learning at your own pace. You can even receive a verified certificate of completion for a small fee, if you really want something to stick on your CV.

Learning and education need not cost money, but it does require some effort and education by learners if they really want to grow. Many public libraries also offer free Internet access, so it is not true to say the lack of money is what holds one back from learning.

My son all day yesterday playing and not wanting to practice math for tomorrow's test because it's easy and he's got it.
At 21:15 last night - Mom we have to practice math.
We?!
...
My son is a smart kid that went through school like it was nothing but now math isn't something he can just brows and get an A.
Linear equations with fractions and one unknown are not something that can be passed without practice.

I'm amazed how much of it I remember from my school days but I'm sure we did it in highschool and not in the sixth grade.
Math I struggled with but physics I aced. Strange, I know 😁

It's not about the grades, it's about getting to know the limitations of your abilities and act accordingly.
Luckily, my son put aside his ego and decided to go to school this morning an hour early to practice math with his teacher and other kids that are struggling before the test.

I'm proud of him 😊

hey cyber security peoples, I got a question:

someone I know wants to do a cyber security degree at uni (UK), after finishing a college (UK) computer science course. she's pretty smart, and has mentioned an interest in learning more, but she doesn't have much prior knowledge or experience.

so, I wanna know where you guys would suggest someone should try an start to learn about cyber! i know what worked for my ongoing learning journey, but I figured it'd be better to get a range of views from people.

if you know of any particular resources, or if you have recommendations on things to learn, then pls drop them in the replies!

Cant help but think that reading books is like having a superpower. By reading you effectively tap into the brains of all these very talented, intelligent, knowledgable and experienced awesome people who decided to share what they have learned.

I almost feel as if I am cheating when I read a new book, almost like some sort of analogue matrix... Arguably somewhat slower, error prone and unreliable yet... Cheating.

To all these hard working authors, writers and knowledge workers who enable me to cheat in life.

After being on the job market for close to 3 months now, it's with a sigh of relief and a rush of excitement I can finally see the full-time occupation of doing job interviews to an end.


Starting gently now in June, and full-time in September, I'm joining Ludenso as VP of Platform Engineering!


It's been a wild and educational ride, and I've met with so many interesting companies, but in the end, I chose to go with Ludenso for the ability it gives me to improve the fields of teaching and learning – especially in the classroom. Having a daughter who says she hates school is naturally a strong, personal motivation.

It's been a long time since I was as enthusiastic about work as I am now. I'm eagerly looking forward to the adventure this surely is going to be!

@chris_spackman I like to point out that a #learning curve has two portions. The ramp and the plateau.

For a #tool that needs to onboard casual users, you want an easy ramp (and therefore almost certainly a low plateau).

For a #tool you are going to spend a lifetime using, the ramp is irrelevant but the height of the plateau is paramount.

@stancarey Thank you. This is encouraging me to fight my own tendency to care at all whether something's "originally" a noun or a verb. Seems like completely wasted effort, when flipping them all around has been a natural feature of the language for centuries. #learning #StagnationEqualsDeath

I don't like disagreeing with experts, but the advice here of "just pronouncing" every v as a b despite people not being able hear the difference is terrible for my spelling memory.

In their English example "there" and "their"; I pronounce these words differently to aid with my spelling. No one notices anyway. So it's just for my own use. But recommending homophonic conformity seems incorrect.

Lessons that I have learned in life and wish I had learned earlier.

1 ) Walk away from people who hurt you.

2 ) Wrong is hurting people unnecessarily; Evil is deliberately hurting people unnecessarily.

3 ) It is much better to be alone than to be in a bad relationship. Never be afraid of walking away (I have done so even when it left me unhoused)

4 ) Always save everything that you want to keep in files that you have multiple backups of, this includes links to anything that you might want to share.

5 ) The first thing that you need to learn about any online space is how to block, keep yourself safe.

6 ) You do not have to set yourself on fire to keep anyone else warm. Take care of yourself.

7 ) Trust your inner impression, if you feel that you are in danger or that a person or organization might hurt you get away as fast as possible.

8 ) Live your own truth, do not let others tell you who you are.

In that thread I articulated some observations on why discussing #teaching and #learning can be hard: https://www.harihareswara.net/posts/2021/it-can-be-hard-to-talk-about-learning-and-teaching/

"It can be hard to accurately remember the experience of not having a skill... what your mental models were, what perceptual gaps you have since fixed...

...people will use different words to describe the same experience, or will have divergent conscious memories..."

"People don't learn like that!" often means "I have no conscious recollection of learning that way."

Twice in the last month, someone has lamented near me that they have a bunch of learned-through-experience knowledge in their head, and they don't know how to draw it out into lessons to #teach their colleagues.

This is called "tacit knowledge". And fortunately, we actually know some ways to elicit it from experts & use it to train new learners!

My naive guess had been plasticity of the cell membrane itself, storing experience like a bruise or scar, but as usual, nature was both far more clever and far more efficient:

Memories may be stored in the membranes of your neurons https://theconversation.com/memories-may-be-stored-in-the-membranes-of-your-neurons-200981
>Pinpointing where memories are stored in the brain and how they are transmitted could provide new targets to treat neurological diseases and serve as models for neuromorphic computing.

#introduction (new account but not new to fedi)

I'm really passionate about story telling. I make little indie games and write stories. With both mediums I tend towards the dark but quirky, think of Addams Family and youve got the right idea.

I love sharing the projects I'm working on. I'll post often about them. More formal write ups go on my Blog/Portfolio. Link for that and all my socials are in my bio.

I'm still deciding if I want to move to this new account fully from my
@queenofsquiggles@indiepocalypse.social account. So far I'm really liking CalcKey so I'll probably move over when I can

Fabulous video talk and transcript about ‘learning DNS in 10 years’ by @b0rk

The talk is really about a process for learning anything, but illustrated by the process of a deep-dive into DNS.

Very interesting, very accessible.
