Hear distinguished speakers, explore exhibits, hear beautiful musical performances and take courses, all without leaving your home. The University of Michigan is offering a cornucopia of learning opportunities to students, faculty and the general public via online resources during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Not only are the University’s libraries, museums and performance organizations working to add content online at UM’s Arts and Culture website, but also Massive Open Online Courses (or MOOCS) on Michigan Online will offer instruction on a variety of subjects. These classes are free to UM faculty, staff and alumni, but will carry a “small cost” for members of the public.
