FutureLearn
Heart of Scotland: History & Heritage of Stirling at 900 Years (University of Stirling) A very interesting look through 900 years of the city of Stirling, beginning from its foundation by King David up to the current time. Having visited Perth and Dundee last year I can see Stirling being on the list to visit next year - there would be plenty to see.
Tracing the History of the Italian Language (University of Padova) I knew nothing about the formation of the Italian language and only know a very limited number of words but that didn't matter as I found this a fascinating course learning how Italian grew from being a purely written language to one that is spoken throughout Italy and by Italians throughout the world. One of those course which I think I'll try out and was very pleased to have done so.
OpenLearn
Introducing the Classical World
Exploring Ancient Greek religion
Introducing Homer's Iliad
Three more course in my Classical summer. As ever I find the interpretation of what people thought at the time rather narrow - especially when views change over time. However, it's interesting to look at a way of life that has had an influence on Western civilisation.
