Coping with the Coronavirus Crisis
The world is currently facing its worst global health crisis in more than a century. As Covid-19 continues to sweep the world at an alarming pace, hundreds of millions have been forced into self-isolation.
In fact, it’s estimated that more than one third of the world’s entire population is right now in a state of lockdown. All of which has prompted forward-thinking individuals around the world to seek productive and proactive ways to stay busy.
Whether working from home or facing the prospect of temporary unemployment, free online courses can be great for passing the time in a useful and meaningful way.
Free Online Courses: How does it Work?
The popularity of taking free courses online has skyrocketed over recent years, though has seen a particular spike in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. In response, many of the web’s leading online colleges have begun adding free courses to their collections. Most of which are simply scaled-down versions of their primary paid courses, with the same high-quality study aids and course materials.
In terms of appeal, the most attractive aspect of free courses online (other than being free of charge) is flexibility. Year-round enrolment, no fixed study schedules and no deadlines whatsoever - learners can study at a time and pace of their choosing. This makes online courses ideal for workers, jobseekers, students - anyone looking to boost their CV without giving up their existing responsibilities.
