Always interested in online learning. For the last years I had a subscription at #coursera but I want to try something new, so this year I am going to spend time on #futurelearn instead. What are the experiences, anyone? #onlinelearning

Quick update on my third week of #Python learning at #FutureLearn.

This week we were supposed to write a small useful program that does a task from our everyday life. I'm planning a field trip to Morocco right now and I just had to calculate how much the students have to pay as their own contribution for the field trip.

This was a little tricky because it depends on how much the accomodation costs in each city and whether the participants stay in a double or triple room. Also, the university reimburses different rates for students and faculty.

I calculated the whole thing with Excel, but tried to do it with Python today. It worked quite well!

And the result is: For 9 nights in the current selection of hotels, students have to pay their own share of 34 euros. Not bad.

I started the second week of "Programming 101: An Introduction to #Python for Educators" on #FutureLearn and wrote a small quiz about Arabic verbs:

It was fun again and I'm actually a little proud!

Would really like to recommend the course again. It's the perfect gentle introduction for me that doesn't overwhelm but still teaches enough to get an idea of what's possible. Looking forward to the final challenge this week: Building commands into your bot. Let's try this!

This week’s theme in #IELTS class is Global Warming. Since I had recently just finished a short course on #FutureLearn about #COP27 I decided to include a poem I’d read there about The River Clyde in Scotland. This poem has everything: Scottish idioms, references to imperialism and its human and climate costs, a subtle threat of flood to come.

"FutureLearn will offer the women in Afghanistan free access to its premium digital learning platform for the duration of the Taliban’s ban on their participation in higher education. Girls and women with internet access will be able to study short courses and expert tracks from the best of British higher education at no cost to themselves, FutureLearn announced on Thursday."

I'm very slowly making my way through #futurelearn #ClimateEngagement course, and in reading more deeply into cognitive dissonance, I find myself scrambling for a species-neutral term alternative to "dehumanizing"... Is there such a term agreed upon yet?

Another MOOC (massive open online course) platform fades into obscurity. It was fun while it lasted.
