Online learning opportunites
Now that you have time on your hands, you might consider taking the opportunity to learn something new. Since we cannot go out, let’s consider online opportunities. Below are a few ideas and we hope to add more as members send us updates and experiences of trying some of these. They range from some very interesting providers of on-line courses to “virtual” tours and activities to subject specific sites. There is an overwhelming number of opportunities, so this page only gives a few examples. We would be delighted to add your recommendations. To suggest content for this page, email causewaycovid@gmail.com
