Online Education Experience & Tips

Hello World! I have started this blog in order to share my journey of learning as I go through a formal degree, an IT diploma and several books, articles and MOOC's (Massive Open Online courses). I aim to present thought-provoking posts on a wide range of topics which I hope will spark discussions that help you enrich yourself, learn something new, look at things from a different perspective. I will try and post weekly, time permitting. Being an IT person, constantly learning new technology and updating oneself is essential for growth and survival. But this approach can be applied to any discipline, and learning new things, besides bringing financial rewards, helps in understanding the world around us and helps us hold knowledgeable conversations. But do not limit yourself to building knowledge. Apply it. Everyday. Build stuff. Break stuff. Learn from your mistakes, especially in something as forgiving as an academic environment. Learn how to learn. Skills and character building
