Italian for Beginners (Part 2 & Part 3) (Open University) I'm definitely learning something. If I really worked at it I'd learn more, but learning lots of vocabulary no longer appeals, so I'm working on the general repetition basis and some of it is going in.
Film Audience & Spectator Experience (Film Distributors' Association) I don't go to the cinema very often, although this year I have seen 'Conclave' and 'Mr Burton', but nevertheless this is a well-presented course, which I enjoyed doing and from which I learnt a little. It's also improved by having the main tutor responding to comments.
OpenLearn
Transport & Sustainability
A Level 2 science course, which I was delighted to be able to follow and do the calculations. An interesting look at different forms of transport and their relative sustainability, including being realistic about the current greener options.
Basic Science: Understanding Numbers
Continuing with the Maths theme. Quite interesting, but covers a lot of the ground I've done previously. I'm now looking at taking some Level 2 Maths courses, which should require rather more mental input, which is one of the reasons for my taking courses!
Understanding Autism
Another badged course. Well worth doing. Although I've had contact with people with autism and their needs before, I felt the course taught me a number of things. Within a church setting, it doesn't hurt to be aware of needs and be as accommodating as possible.
