MOOCs & Alberta Curriculum Alignment
The University of Alberta is proud to offer free open online courses to the community. As we look after children at home and for ways to keep our kids and ourselves learning and having fun during school closures and home stays, these courses are a great resource.
From the incredible world of insects and introductory astronomy to paleontology and computer programming we offer 10 courses spanning a wide range of subject areas.
The University of Alberta has 10 free Massive Open Online Courses that can help support parents at home with young students during this challenging time, or anybody looking for brain breaks to help stay engaged through lifelong learning.
