The NY Times recently featured a piece by J. D. Biersdorfer on the topic of continuing education via online courses. Many of us finding our routines shaken up right now, our work hours cut back, and/or a shift to working remotely. As Ms. Biersdorfer points out, Benjamin Franklin famously set aside an hour or two each day to study, reflect, and experiment, filling the gaps in his own education going on to work several successful careers.
