Shipwrecks and Submerged Worlds: Maritime Archaeology - FREE Online Course!

Well it is kind of self-explanatory... Source

Just over a year ago I posted the news about the University of Southampton's new free online course in maritime archaeology -  well! It is finally here! The course started Monday 6th October 2014, but there is still time to sign up! It requires a commitment of about 4 hours every week, but other than that you don't have to have any previous knowledge of the subject, just an interest in it. This is a great way to get an insight into the world of maritime archaeology! Perhaps this course will spark an interest that you didn't know you had, and you will be receiving a lovely certificate at the end if you manage to complete all the steps over the next four weeks.

Happy learning :)

FREE Education! The University of Southampton to launch MOOC

Not so much related to archaeology, but interesting nonetheless!

This coming September, the University of Southampton is launching its first ever MOOC or Massive Open Online Course. The idea of this is that anyone, living anywhere in the world, has access to the courses for free! To participate you do not need any previous knowledge of the subjects you may study - as long as you are keen and interested in learning something new, or wanting to get a taster for future studies, then it is just to get started!

Sign up for the FutureLearn newsletter (all you need is an email address) today using this link. The courses will cover a range of subjects and will only require you to study for two to three hours per week. You can even choose not to complete the whole course, but instead only choose the topics that seem interesting to you.

You can find more information on this amazing opportunity by clicking the first link above! I personally can't wait to try this!
