Are there geology MOOCs anywhere? Every time I go looking I find at most like three but one’s in Chinese (which I don’t know nearly well enough to take a course in), one’s some advanced thing, and the other… I don’t even remember.

Anyway, is there anywhere I could possibly peek into a course like… Rocks an’ Whatnot 101 maybe? Dirt Stuff for People with Clean Hands, maybe? :'D I can’t promise I won’t end up disinterested or get bored or distracted and quit, but I want such courses to be a thing anyway.

    I’m not sure throwing a rock at me is better than having a rock fart at me 🤣At least I can still learn about the rock if it hasn’t knocked me unconscious :P

        Is that the geologists’ greeting, you just throw rocks at people?! No wonder I can’t find any geology MOOCs: they’ve probably all been banned for being too violent :P

        Also it turns out MIT OCW does have a bunch of geology stuff! … Just it’s only like lecture notes, no videos or interactive stuff :-\ Bleeeeh it’s too exciting looking at all’ the topics, but then it’s all, “Hope you like reading a lot and don’t have focus problems!” 😅

          Well, what did you find? Post links if you can. One day someone is going to be googling for this exact question and you’ll have left them hanging. Kind of like this comic.
