Hey #AcademicTwitter how do interpret online courses on people's CVs?
E.g., if a student/postdoc's CV says: "I did X online course" — do you consider it the same as/better/worse than an equivalent module in a university degree?
Please reply with your rationale too if possible!

I learnt how to write experiments on MATLAB using lecture slides that were available online for psychtoolbox (a MATLAB toolbox for writing experiments in psychology). However, if I was to write that in a CV I would phrase it as 'self-learnt'.But then I don't think taking a course

whether it's online or in person is interesting in itself. It's interesting to know what you've learnt. E.g. looking at a CV that says they did a course where they used MATLAB does not suggest to me that they know MATLAB.

100% agreed.
