These are separate to your summer tasks – and will be really useful to help you start tackling A level courses. Preparing for Sixth Form. 4. MOOCs MOOCs (Massive Open Online Course) are online, interactive courses that give you the chance to study with top universities around the world. These might include video lectures, articles, discussions, assignments and social networking. MOOCs don’t always lead to formal qualifications, but they do mean you can gain knowledge in all sorts of areas. You might use a MOOC to develop career skills, prepare for other education, or explore a new interest. There are usually no entry requirements for MOOCs. Because they take place online, MOOCs can grow very big. You might find yourself learning with thousands of other people – they don’t call them massive for nothing. https://www.futurelearn.com/ Unifrog Preparing for Sixth Form. 5.
