Online Masters with interactive teaching

[ShyMaryEllen]

I'm thinking about doing another Masters, probably in English Lit, or maybe History. For various reasons it would have to be online, but I would much prefer interactive classes (Zoom or similar) to Distance Learning with no contact.

Does anyone know of a good course that isn't 'here are the materials - get on with it', please? I would be doing it recreationally as I don't need the qualification, but I do need the structure of a course with deadlines and marks, and Masters level is right for what I want.

There are some postgrad courses on FutureLearn now (which is interactive in a discussion way like Mumsnet but whether courses have live video elements I don't know). Not sure about subjects.

Vaguely aware of a few people who've done online masters degrees with overseas universities just because they happened to offer what they wanted. Can't remember specifics (poss Australia or NZ?) but if nobody can recommend anything, it might be an option to investigate.

You said "another Masters" - what was your previous one in and where did you complete it? Just curious.

That might be a bit outing, but I have two - one in a Literature based subject and the other in a professional, work-based subject. I tried to PM you, as it's not a secret (just that if anyone who knows me saw it they'd connect me with my user name), but I can't, for some reason.

I hadn't thought about looking at overseas universities, but that's a good idea, thanks.

Can’t help with your specific query - but it’s something that might be of interest to people reading the Mature Study and Retraining board, here:
