Free non-graded courses from UMPI
#1
UMPI is now allowing learners of ALL AGES to learn from UMPI's amazing staff team: 


Quote:The University of Maine at Presque Isle has taken a bold, new step into the world of online learning with its UMPI OpenU Courses. OpenU is a unique effort to allow learners of all ages, and from all over the world, to participate in UMPI online and on-site* courses for free. Please keep in mind that OpenU cannot be used to accumulate college credit(s).

VIEW OPENU COURSE OFFERINGS

UMPI understands that there are many people who are interested in learning the materials taught in a college course but are not necessarily interested in earning credit toward a degree, or paying for such enrichment. UMPI OpenU Courses give people the ability to learn alongside UMPI students in an online or on campus setting. Students are able to take away a much deeper knowledge of the subject area they are interested in.

We believe that college courses offered at no cost to interested learners should maintain the same high quality as any other UMPI course. Participants will be able to ask questions, engage in conversation and be fully involved in the course.

* Although the majority of OpenU Courses are delivered online, select courses are only offered live at the Presque Isle campus; such courses would require learners to travel to campus and are therefore identified as such on the schedule.

**Students will have to buy trade paperbacks or textbooks and some courses require a lab fee to be paid to the Business Office prior to class start

Fall Offering will be in a few weeks!

Most are usually online. A few require you to go to Maine! Think if it like Coursera....... But for free! HOwever, if you do TWO courses, you can do a PLA and get the 6 credits for this when you enroll at UMPI later! 2 less electives Smile

Ceramics!

I think this one is a bit funny because you have to be close to UMPI to even think of taking the course. I do like the offering, though, because ceramics as a hobby is pretty popular. Taking a ceramics class at a local ceramics place would probably cost much more than whatever the lab fee for this course is.
In progress:
TESU - BA Computer Science; BSBA CIS; ASNSM Math & CS; ASBA

Completed:
Pierpont - AAS BOG
Sophia (so many), The Institutes (old), Study.com (5 courses)
ASU: Human Origins, Astronomy, Intro Health & Wellness, Western Civilization, Computer Appls & Info Technology, Intro Programming
Strayer: CIS175, CIS111, WRK100, MAT210

Oh wow.   I haven’t thought about ceramics since I was little.  My mom was into that in the 80’s.  She even had her own kiln.

That is a great offering.  It can give those who aren’t sure if they are ready for college a chance to try it out first.
