Say what an online course is
Start an online course knowing that you can stop and pick it up next month.
An online course is a set of short video lessons you work through in your own time. Most have no start date and no deadline.
Your library card opens a good many of them at no charge, and the site remembers where you stopped.
Key points
- An online course is short video lessons taken in your own time
- A library card opens a great many of them at no charge
What to remember
- Self-paced means the course waits, not you.
- Nothing in a self-paced course expires while you live your life.
