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.

    This sounds like the perfect project for…me, if I had more spare time.

    I’ll give it some thought. Thanks for the germ!

    ETA: geology.com is always a good starter site with lots of knowledge appetizers for those just starting to show interest.

      Oooh, feel free to dump thoughts in this community if you’re building a curriculum. I’ll happily pretend I’m in undergrad again and ask dumb questions. :)

        What is rock? Is rock different from stone? If a recipe calls for “three small pebbles” do they have to be roughly the same size and shape or…? 🤔Hehehe.
