free open source certificated courses
new for autumn 2024
To continue with our ethos of flexible, free tution, we have recently launched our new YouTube Channel with a number of free open-source courses.
Some are just a few minutes long… some a full 4 or 5 hours sessions.
Â
All are FREE
Many are certificated* – soon all will be
All released under a Creative Commons licence – ie please use, share, embed in your own site / learning platform…
*We both regularly watch online tutorials to keep up to date in all things data… but it struck us that it’d be good to be able to have a record of what we’ve done…
Â
…. so we did 🙂
Anyway at the end of each course is a QR code to a Microsoft Form. We only need your name and email to send out a certificate, and it’s all automated by way of Microsoft’s Power Automate -which is just AMAZING!
( there’s a wee video there to show you hopw it works )
