Hi, all.
I realize this is a far cry from my usual posts, but I'm desperately trying to find work, as I know are so many others.
I don't have a wide range of interests, but anything that will make my CV more interesting is a plus, so I'm on the hunt for a potential list of free and accredited online courses.
If anyone knows where I can find something like this, please please let me know. I'll do anything to fill my time if it feels within reach of my current skillset, and hopefully that skillset can slowly expand as a result.
Anything helps. Thank you in advance.

Twice in the last month, someone has lamented near me that they have a bunch of learned-through-experience knowledge in their head, and they don't know how to draw it out into lessons to #teach their colleagues.
This is called "tacit knowledge". And fortunately, we actually know some ways to elicit it from experts & use it to train new learners!
I've appreciated Cedric Chin's blog series on this:

We have translation apps, sign languages, an international phonetic alphabet that is supposed to be able to represent any sound in any language for academics to endlessly discuss over.Do you speak Accessibility? - A look at accessibility hurdles for language learning and linguistics - A11yTalks
I typically discover the best and most interesting content via my RSS reader, not social media. @clive wrote an excellent article on why you should be using an RSS reader and how to get the most from it.

Joseph Henrich, evolutionary anthropologist:
"More than any other animal, we depend on learning from others. Cultural evolution occurs alongside biological evolution. You can look at a human & study the genes that they’ve inherited from their parents… but that person has also acquired beliefs, values, practices, norms, languages & ways of thinking from their parents & other members of their community."
