    Vanderbilt & Stanford free nutrition courses

    edited January 22 in Food and Nutrition
    This is offered through Coursera (coursera.org) and starts in 5 days:
    Nutrition, Health, and Lifestyle: Issues and Insights (7 weeks).

    For those unfamiliar with Coursera, it is a MOOC (massive open online course) platform with dozens of universities and hundreds of college level courses for free. The workload for this particular course is 2-4 hours per week, but if you don't want to go for the official statement of completion, you can enroll and simply download the lectures and materials to deal with on your own. Here is the direct link: https://www.coursera.org/course/lifenutr

    At the same time, Stanford University is offering a 5-week course called, "Child Nutrition and Cooking," which I personally believe anyone with children should take. https://www.coursera.org/course/childnutrition

    Gogogo.

      You're all very welcome. I love turning people on to the moocs. :) There are others. Just google "mooc." I love Coursera but EdX and Udacity are also good.

      Some of you might want to start a study group here. That way, you have the course as well as this fitness site in common. I won't be joining the study group because I'm just going to download the lectures to watch later. (I'm in the middle of "Synapses, Neurons, and Brains" as well as "Genes and the Human Condition." )

      I agree. I won't be in it cuz I'm in the middle of one course about the brain and another one about genetics. But I'm going to download the lectures from both of the nutrition course to watch later.

      Enjoy!
