Free online learning courses are called MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses). They are short learning courses developed by universities and other organisations. There are hundreds available online, with a very wide variety of topics. You can study just parts of a course without obligation. All you will need is access to the internet, plus an email address. Although designed for individuals, it has been confirmed that they are suitable for group usage. The u3a offers a number of online courses that are updated on a regular basis
Shared learning projects (SLPs) are short, participatory learning activities lasting from several weeks to several months which can be at a local or regional level. They involve u3a members interested in researching or developing a particular subject. Other local parties such as schools or societies may also become involved. They usually culminate in a small publication, presentation or exhibition.
SLPs can be created by one of our interest groups, working with other u3a groups or local organisations.
