One workday morning, I was flippin’ through the day’s morning newspaper at our office kitchen. I’ve made it a point to sit down and read for at least 15 mins. before 9am. Partly because I never keep up with current events these days, partly to look for writing ideas and partly to set my tone for the day.
I stumbled upon an article about the biggest online education provider out there. What got me was that the courses offered were all FREE and backed by reputable universities around the world! Free education? WOW. I gotta check that out. I think I will not have bothered to do this if i was not “ready”. My frame of mind that very morning was primed to “curiosity” and “learning”.
Later that night, i hanged out at www.coursera.org. I was gobsmacked at the rich rich RICH!!! course offerings. Twas anything from gardening to history of rock music to Calculus to the Big Bang Theory! I zoomed in to one course which again i was ready for. It was an 8-week course called “Creativity Innovation and Change“. If you have been following me in mGB since Jan 2013, I am all wired on those 3 concepts.
Creativity, Innovation and Change
My #CIC course started September First. For Week One, there were 3 videos I was supposed to watch, 1 of 3 exercises to do, and 1 test to pass. I did all of the above.
