[DIYbio] Re: Online Course: Introduction to DNA Barcoding ---> Other DNA analysis MOOCs?

Hi Cathal I can see your point that MOOCs are probably not well suited to biology where getting your hands "wet" really matters but more to math and computing. I do have access to our biohacklab downstairs, but the trouble is that I cannot practice what I have learned as it is far above the level of what we are currently capable of in our lab. Next week we're going to do our first miniprep which I would love to get some hands-on experience  of but it is still  a far cry from the stuff I'm learning in virology. There is a huge split between theory and practice with biology  MOOCs it seems. I was hoping to  use the hacklab as a kind of makeshift university to learn molecular biology but I'm not sure how far I can go down this route.

University of Guelph is offering a new online course: Introduction to DNA Barcoding:


Tuition is ~$1000.  

Anyone know of any good DNA analysis MOOCs available out there?
