I've read a lot about the edtech industry implications of MOOCs, and educators' pedagogical concerns regarding their implications, but it's only now (mid-2014!) that I've finally enrolled in one. I've come to the understanding that my exploration of my data in R is hampered not by my knowledge of the tool, but rather by my lack of solid statistical knowledge. It's time to fix that.
I was surprised at the number of stats MOOCs out there - multiple instances of even the same title from multiple universities and multiple MOOC providers. There's a great range of choice. And delightfully, most of them seem to use R as their tool of choice.
I'm going to jump mid-way into a series of courses from Johns Hopkins (https://www.coursera.org/specialization/jhudatascience/1/courses), hoping I'll be fine based on my mathematical background and having had a few months playing with R.
