Introduction to Psychology (Yale University, Coursera)

This is Paul Bloom's compact introduction made for Coursera, separate from his recorded Yale lectures and better suited to anyone who wants a structured online course in modules rather than a semester of lecture-hall sessions. Its seven modules move from foundations through development and language, cognition, self and others, and the ways people vary, with a short closing module on the good life. Coursera estimates about two weeks at ten hours a week, and more than 1.6 million learners have enrolled. If you have already worked through the Open Yale lectures, expect the same lecturer's view of the field and choose another course for a second perspective.
