This week, I started a new course on Coursera- Social Psychology from Wesleyan University. So far, it has proved to be a fun and well taught course. Today, I was learning about change blindness and how everyone's reality varies depending on belief and what each person expects/wants to see. A good example is this video, the color changing card trick, which was actually used as an example in today's lecture.
In addition to Social Psychology, I am also taking classes on Calculus and Child Nutrition- but those are "go-at-your-own-pace" courses with no set deadline or schedule. I will leave links to each of these courses below, but to join you have to set up a coursera account. I have said it before and I will say it again- Coursera is great for learning new things. All courses are free and most will get you a Statement of Accomplishment signed by the instructor(s).
The Social Psychology course is taught by Scott Plous from Wesleyan University - check it out here.
The course on Child Nutrition is taught by Maya Adam from Stanford University - check it out here.
Finally, the course in Calculus is taught by Jim Fowler of the Ohio State University - check it out here.
