Take charge of your career and learning
These provide an opportunity for you to learn things that can help you in your career or just satisfy your curiosity. Many are self paced so you can start them and progress through as suits you.

I have done MOOCs before and think they are a great way to learn. They are generally well designed, structured with the online learner in mind and provide access to great resources.
