Title: Free animal behaviour and welfare course
Post by: Backinwellies on February 11, 2015, 09:43:09 am

There is a free course that you may be interested in.  You need to register for this one this week.  It is very good.

Thanks for sharing, Backinwellies.
 
I'd never heard of a MOOC, but I've now signed up for one in another subject and am really looking forward to it  :thumbsup: .

I'm already doing three MOOCS at the moment (Moons of the Solar System, Agriculture and Food Security, and a repeat of Richard 111 to find out about his reburial) - no room for any more.  I did see the animal behaviour course advertised but it will have to wait.  Please report back whether it's good and worth doing when it's repeated.  Good Luck.

I also thought this looked good, but am about to do the Richard III one, and can't cope with 2!
