I've been looking at one through Harvard called Intro to Neuroscience. Says it takes two months to complete. I've been reading stuff like that is a good thing to add on your resume.

I've taken several history courses through them and coursera. I put it on resume (I'm teacher) but I mainly just took them to learn more.

Recent research has shown that empirical evidence for globalization of corporate innovation is very limited and as a corollary the market for technologies is shrinking.

As a world leader it is important for America to provide systematic research grants for our scientists.

I believe strongly that there will always be a need for us to have a well articulated innovation policy with emphasis on Human Resource development.

Thank you

I'm not sure about these things. I've looked at similar courses out of curiosity. Many that I've seen ask you to pay if you want a certificate to show you completed the course. And after looking at the curriculum, and assignments, I couldn't say that if I saw it on someone's resume or CV that I'd be impressed.

I still believe your work productivity is better than additional side courses.

However, for simple interest, the courses are fine especially if some of the bigger names are instructors. Good bit of nuance you can glean from some of the leaders in a particular field.

I did. I took one having to deal with the oil and gas industry. When I applied for a promotion, they made it a point to tell me that helped quite a bit in their decision making.
