Who here has actually completed a course at someplace like edX or Coursera? I've started a few but always petered out. I wish I had time. Or, you could say I didn't want it enough to make the time
Let alone drop a chunk of cash for a certificate.

I've started at least one course... but yeah, never finished
. The furthest I got on any online study thing was a kanji flashcard website called WaniKani, which I used daily for about two years.

I've finished courses on Codecademy and CodeSchool, but those are much shorter. I'm about halfway done with a course available from MIT OpenCourseware. I haven't paid for anything like that, though.

"I’m very much in the present moment. Maybe that’s why I work effectively. I’m not worried about what I’m going to be, or what I’m going to do. I just relax and focus."
That's such a good outlook. Very cool he can be so booksmart/intelligent and have a healthy attitude like that.

I don't have direct experience to add here, but I just want to say that I'm taking a course in online pedagogy right now and we've discussed MOOCs at length.
