ParaMOOC 2018 starts next Monday, January 22. It's the fourth in an annual series of webinars or MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) supported by the Parapsychology Foundation and organized and hosted by parapsychologists Nancy Zingrone and Carlos Alvarado of the AZIRE (Alvarado Zingrone Institute for Research and Education).  

Classes consist of live-streamed videos featuring PowerPoint presentations from acknowledged experts in parapsychology, near-death studies and related fields. The course uses the popular WizIQ Virtual Classroom technology, meaning users can freely chat with one another before, during and after the presentations, and ask the speakers questions during the ample time periods following the presentations. All classes are recorded, so users not present for the classes can download and watch the recordings later.

To take part in this free online course, click the "Enroll Now" button at the top-right of this page:
http://the-azire.wiziq.com//course/20215...ramooc2018

Once enrolled, you'll receive an email reminder from the AZIRE prior to each class, along with an avalanche of additional emails for announcements, course changes and links to the PowerPoint presentations and recorded videos. Years ago I set up an email filter to create a folder for all such emails so they wouldn't flood my inbox. You might consider doing the same, or go into your onsite profile to turn off the emails (providing you're comfortable navigating the site and can access what you need on your own).

Despite the possibility of last minute changes, Carlos and Nancy have the following classes planned (more speakers may be added over the next couple of weeks):

The Windbridge Institute and the Mossbridge Institute are jointly sponsoring an online precognition study. Sadly, participation is only offered to American citizens aged 18 and over. The experiment will take place over ten days, and those interested in registering need to do so before Friday, February 9, 2018, at 10:00 pm PST.

More details can be found here:

(Thanks to K9! for bringing this to my attention.)
