Online course at Oxford University

[millymcb]

Not sure how good I would be at online learning. I like the going to the class aspect of it but I am not great at settling down to do my homework and tend to leave it till the last minute. If I didn't have to go to the class to hand it in I am not sure how much I would actually settle down to do.  I admire those who are more diligent than I am (like you!)

The teaching was quite good fun. Like most people on rootschat I could talk for hours about genealogy

Nice link, but pub dishwashers is what I got.  

The book is on sale at amazon uk £8 or so, and amazon usa $14.  Just google it + amazon and you'll get the links.

To do an online course, you kind of have to treat it like a job. When I start the one at Oxford, I will go to the library for 2 hours a day - 5 days a week.  There are too many distractions at home so this way I can find myself a nice quiet space, and just take my books and laptop and get my work done

Yes, teaching is fun especially when you are teaching those who want to learn. I was a teacher for 17 years before I retired and I enjoyed giving adult ed classes the most as the adults wanted to be there

Thanks, Bill! I just ordered it from Amazon.com. I hadn't heard of that title before. I have a number of books on Salford as my Mom was born there. I love the cover. When I visited the Lowry museum I bought a copy of that as it shows St. Simon's church where my Mom attended It's hanging on my wall.

Well I have not decided exactly what to do with my lovely new qualification yet - but the teaching was nowhere near as traumatic as I thought it would be so you never know

See if you can give a beginners course in genealogy at your local library Once I take the courses at Oxford, that's what I intend to do It's especially good if your library has Ancestry.co.uk on their computers

That's what I was wondering about doing it. I will look into it when I finish the course and see of they already offer anything (although I have not seen anything advertised)

..I am sure lots of people would be interested.
