Unit 5, Part 1
To start, the digital resources I can reference such as free courses and those that can count
for credit. There are the managerial accounting or financial accounting courses located in the
Business Administration section of saylor.org
(https://learn.saylor.org/course/index.php?categoryid=6). Additionally there are accounting
courses located on https://www.open.edu/openlearn from the introductory to advanced level.
Finally there is also the accounting MicroMasters series offered by Indiana University on edx.org
(https://www.edx.org/micromasters/iux-accounting). What is enticing about the edx option is
should I ever be interested in getting a full master’s in the program, I could apply to Indiana
University and have my course transfer for credit. Overall I would be able to earn what Kevin
Carey calls “badges” as a form of academic credit. While there are many free/freemium type
courses that exist on the internet, I recognize I’d need to set myself up for success by
surrounding myself with resources to stay invigorated.
