Keeping one's writing skills finely honed may require periodic refresher classes, or acquiring new tools. Many opportunities for education and training are now available over the internet, either for fee or free.
Here are a few educational resources to consider:
FREE
• Coursera.org -- a partnership of top universities offering massively organized online courses in many subjects. Some classes offer a certificate of completion. See their Humanities listing.
• OpenCulture.com -- an aggregator compiling online educational opportunities. Check this link for 650 free online classes, including Art & Art History, Classics & Classical World, History, Literature.
• MIT OpenCourseWare -- one of the oldest free online programs, MIT's OCW offers a wide range of classes. Search here by department, including History, Literature, and Comparative Media.
• Class Central -- this aggregator compiles courses by start times; it also notes whether coursework is available on YouTube. Check this link for the current listing.
PAID / FOR-FEE
• Gotham Writers' Workshop -- though based in New York City, this site offers online for-fee classes as well as links to writing resources.
