Geology MOOCs? (kbin.social)

Are there geology MOOCs anywhere? Every time I go looking I find at most like three but one's in Chinese (which I don't know nearly well enough to take a course in), one's some advanced thing, and the other... I don't even remember.

Anyway, is there anywhere I could possibly peek into a course like... Rocks an' Whatnot 101 maybe? Dirt Stuff for People with Clean Hands, maybe? :'D I can't promise I won't end up disinterested or get bored or distracted and quit, but I want such courses to be a thing anyway.

evil laughter >:3 Sorry, I've been rendered unconscious by a hurled stone and can't provide any links at the moment :P

Here you go :P (Am assuming this is enough? Doesn't really make sense to link all of the links provided through this link O.o ) MIT OCW has a ton of stuff but it's very spotty with regard to what's offered per course. Sometimes it's just like, a syllabus and nothing else; others have what seems to be everything a paying student would get except office hours chatting face-to-face with the prof.

Okay, you're right. Not very good.

But it prompted me to do some digging on YouTube. Here's maybe a good starting point. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcI_lGDDt5A65hZDfQVPMEUzDRYYXWHoy
