Online Learning After 60
Courses worth taking in retirement — no classroom required.
Our library-classes listings are a great free way to learn something new down the street. But some Tuesdays the best classroom is your own couch — especially once the Chicago winter sets in. These are two well-known platforms our neighbors turn to when they want to go deeper than a library workshop allows.
The Great Courses / Wondrium
Structured, multi-lecture courses taught by university professors — history, science, the arts, and more.
MasterClass
Single-subject classes taught by working experts — cooking, writing, gardening, and dozens of hobbies.
