Let’s Read a Book Together

Never Stop Learning
I’ve heard a lot about MOOCs lately. For those unfamiliar with the acronym, it means massive open online course. There are several outlets for these courses and many were recommended to me before I stumbled upon Coursera. A Facebook friend mentioned that she was taking a course, so I decided to check it out.
