@SoulfullyAButterfly I did read some books that were in PDF format. Does that count?

I also learned a lot in the Self Help Guides here on 7cups.

I haven't done classes virtually, but I have done some molecular modelling and other digital tools in formal education.

@AffyAvo wow that sounds really detailed. What would one use molecular modeling for if you do not mind me asking?

@soulsings Drug discovery and design is a big area. Also, chemical reactions in general.

I have, and I am enrolled in www.alison.com and www.codecademy.com

The thing is they are self-paced and I'm not disciplined enough to do the work. 😕 I have tried to take college classes online but it was too difficult for me due to timing.

There are some other great online programs that offer free courses, some of which include a certificate of participation or a badge. Canvas (dot net) offers a wide variety of online courses that are free, and I recommend that site.

I, too, struggle with the motivation and concentration to do the course material. It depends on the topic of the course and what I have going on in my life.

Yes, both a coding class and now one on climate change challenges around the world. Some are better than others—depends if teacher understands medium or has just recorded a real life class.

I have not heard this expression before surprise but just had a look. Does learning from oneline videos count? Need to have a closer look at it. Thanks for the idea.laugh

@Lauren63

In my experiences, webinars would be part of digital or online learning. I have taken numerous online courses and some of which included webinars.

I have taken numerous online courses over the past few years because I am currently not working and I wanted to keep learning. It took some time for me to get used to learning online because I prefer face-to-face learning, such as in a traditional classroom. It took me a while to get used to learning online, and after a while, I loved it. I have taken courses that were related to my career, but also ones that I was just interested in, and others that pushed me outside of my comfort zone.

No online learning yet for me, but I enjoyed reading about all of your experiences.
