In this article I am going to show you how to find some great online courses and classes. These platforms let students listen in on lectures by leading professors from top US & Canadian universities such as MIT and Stanford, or provide students with a course curriculum so they can study at their own pace so that they can take care of other responsibilities such as work or taking care of children. There are so many different types of classes to choose from and it is nice to know that you don’t have to worry about taking the wrong type or choosing a class if you don’t like it.
