Cool... Another impressive site is www.iversity.org
Only prob is limited data subscription.

The FMOH has discharged ALL the remaining Ebola contacts under follow up in both Lagos and PH. There are NO cases in the isolation centers. Ebola has been successfully contained in Nigeria. We need to remain extremely vigilant and follow strict hygienic practices. Keep safe, Wash your hands regularly.

Here we go again Nigerians; hustling to get lots of certificates to get the dream job.

Stop !!!

Understand that It's not about the certificates. it's about the knowledge and what you can do with it without necessarily having a job

Its very educative, I'm currently running two courses @ d moment.

I use coursera. The reasons most nigeria won't patronise such open educational resources is the cost of internet. A single course consumes about 2 gb of data and the course stretches over a month, so a nigerian student or education enthusiast has to spend about 5 to 8k for data subscription. Many nigerians find this discouraging, especially the students.

I use courser as well. Very true, data required is the main challenge.

Guys this is all you need an atlas that will show you where to go http://atlas.edupunksguide.org/

honour code certificates are for free check the certificate i uploaded but if you want verified certificate you might need to donate some amount of money depending on the kind of course

That's true. I don't use gb for my internet. I used 5gb within 3days once and o boy

olycholy:
Thanks dear, I really need the certificate. U know how this country is. I love their courses. The one I want to reg for started on 15th please can I still participate by next month?

true that. if it started on the 15th, to get a verified certificate, you will need to register early i believe. maybe within 3 weeks or so but it varies from course to course. some courses also have multiple offerings a year, so if you miss this just look out for the next one.

keypad1: is it possible ro do mba ?

not to my knowledge. you can take individual courses or even a group of courses in different tracks - eg finance etc but you wont get a degree off of it. If you want an MBA online, you will have to register in one of those online universities eg phoenix or walden etc. I dont know how prestigious these institutions are and it will cost you some money.

But you can definitely take MBA type courses on coursera or edx.

I will check it out. Btw let me bookmark it.

codedflowz: Thanks Op

Internet data not the problem. What's discouraging is labour market. Will the certificate be recognized ?

Hello.
Just click on that link and login and that's all

EdX was founded by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University in May 2012

Na there you go see Naija guys and babes wey take 1 course on the platform-


Guyman: So, baby what do you do?.. Work?.. school?

Babe: ashually, i attend Havard University.

Confirm! that platform is wonderful. Have obtained two certs.
Very engaging and challenging courses. I encourage everyone, you can use your spare to time to learn one or two things.

Wonderful Post, I just registered.Thanks

Oletty: I am currently following an 8 week technology course on Edx. So far, I have completed the fourth week. I never believed I could be steadfast, having a full time job and family to look after. But, so far, it's been working out.

I would advise Nigerian undergraduates to take advantage of the wealth of materials on Edx. I finished university 15 years ago when the internet was barely known in Nigeria.

Knowledge is power and such power brings economic success.

does it work in the mobile platform

kennedyugo: Confirm! that platform is wonderful. Have obtained two certs.

can it work on mobile phones ?

I have been on Edx since last year, taken about two courses... You need internet sha oo

Signed up for cs50 and two other courses early this year. Have since stopped though. Still hoping to continue and complete the courses before the year runs out sha. For those interested in Intro. to Comp. Sci. I (cs50), you'll love (the approach of) the lecturer -- David J. Malan.
