Can anyone please recommend other MOOC sites similar to Saylor.org?

A few years ago, someone mentioned they created their own syllabus by looking at university syllabuses and reading the required books.

Since then, I have wished someone would do that for me because I tried and did not succeed.

I am interested in humanities and have started reading books, which has been a great experience, but I struggle to stay consistent.

I recently discovered Saylor.org and started an Existentialism course, which I love. It directs you to lectures, articles, books, podcasts, etc.

There are many courses there, but I’m curious if there are other websites like this that guide you to external sources instead of offering their own lectures.

I hope to eventually learn how to create my own study guides.

This information was located at career resources - Goodwill Industries International

Additionally, there is content on Khan Academy.

For your hope, I heartily suggest “learning how to learn” on Coursera; according to enrolled students, it’s now the most well-liked MOOC (or near to it) worldwide.

@Averitt Thank you; I’ll check out Coursera’s “learning how to learn” section.

However, I’m not searching for a new line of work or useful talents. That appears to be what the link offers. Perhaps amazing material, but not what I’m searching for

I basically enjoy studying the humanities, but I need some guidance.

Hi Gillian… It’s great to hear about your passion for humanities and your positive experience with Saylor.org! If you’re looking for similar websites that provide structured courses by guiding you to external resources, there are a few excellent options. MIT OpenCourseWare is a fantastic resource, offering free course materials from a wide range of subjects, including humanities. The course content includes reading lists, lecture notes, and assignments that can help you build your own syllabus. Another option is Coursera, which partners with universities to offer courses that often include links to external readings and resources, although some may require payment for full access. edX is also worth exploring, as it offers a variety of free courses from prestigious institutions with comprehensive reading lists and external resources. These platforms can provide the structure and consistency you need while helping you learn how to create your own study guides in the future.
