Enroll now for Mechanics I on Course Builder
September 28, 2012
In case you missed last week’s
announcement
about the online learning open source project called
Course Builder
, we’re here to extend an invite for you to join an upcoming course delivered on the platform so you can see it in action. You can
enroll now
(for free) for
The Saylor Foundation
’s upcoming
Mechanics I course
.
This full college course built by experienced professors allows you to work at your own pace or connect with other students in the course forums and will stay open and online.
Mechanics I
is built from the best that the open web has to offer: MIT lectures, readings from the University of Nebraska, and Saylor-built assessments to tie it all together.
Not only is the course cost-free, but open educational resources (OER) make up the majority of the content. These are available to everyone to freely use, share and edit whether you are an instructor, student or self-learner. Putting these resources together using Course Builder as the platform helps to better connect students with free, open, convenient, and enjoyable self-paced learning.
Even if engineering is unfamiliar territory, now’s your chance to experiment and learn - with nothing to lose! The Course Builder open source project provides you with the opportunity to try something new and Saylor will be adding additional courses to the platform often. So whether you’re in school or a lifelong learner, there’s no better time - or way - to dive into the open web.
