edX course in Linux
Richard
Hi,
Apologies if you've received this already via Meetup - I'm not sure if the HLUG Meetup group overlaps the HLUG Google Group 100%.
edX are running an online course in learning how to use Linux. edX offers a vast range of ree online university level courses, backed by the big names in the world's universities (Stanford, MIT, Harvard, Australia National, Hong Kong, Notre Dame, etc).
LFS101x: Introduction to Linux went live on 1st August. The course covers a wide range of topics from graphical interfaces to using the command line, security, the Linux philosophy, networking and scripting. It is designed to take you beyond being just a casual user. The course is free and you can get a certificate for completing it. If you would like a verified university level certificate to add to our CV, the cost is US$250 (as far as I can see).
To get started with the course:
- Go to edX.org.
- Log in to edX using the email address and password you signed up with.
- Once you're logged in, click on the course name or the image of Tux the Linux penguin to launch the course.
- Read the announcement on the first page and follow the instructions.
- Start learning to use Linux!
The course is self-paced and should take between 40-60 hours to complete.
Regards,
Richard
