3 easy steps to learn everyday with only one hour

First thing in the morning after you’ve just got up: 20 minutes to learn skills of the 21th century: coding. Thanks to the awesome codecademy platform, this is easy and pleasant to learn programming languages like HTML, CSS, Javascript, Python, Ruby on Rails.

In the middle of the afternoon, you are at work and you start getting bored: 10 minutes on DuoLingo to improve or learn a new language.

After dinner, skip your favorite TV show and watch another kind of video: 20 minutes on an opencourseware platefom like the Microsoft Virtual Academy or the MIT OpenCourseWare and take some notes (10 minutes). For more interaction with other learners and to get a certification, you can attend to a MOOC on Open2Study, edX, Coursera or NovoEd. And if you do not find an interesting topic on these platforms, check the MOOC portal designed by the European Commission.
