Today I received my Statement of Accomplishment from Coursera for successfully completing my first MOOC: Crafting an Effective Writer.

This course spanned 5 weeks and included assignments, journal writing and peer reviewed assessments totalling about 4-5 hours each week. I chose to participate in order to improve my creative writing skills and feel the course helped me to achieve this goal though the development of complex sentence structures leading onto a short essay.

Despite being penalised for starting the course one week late I was very pleased with my overall score of 93.2%. It's safe to say I've developed a taste for online learning, and have already signed up to a few more courses in different subjects.
