Welcome to U3A Online. All U3A Groups are separate, membership of one does not give membership of another.
There are over 240 U3A Groups in Australia and many more around the world. All U3A Online courses are online and there are no venues where you go to be with other people.
This is the website of U3A Online which is a virtual U3A Group where everything is done online

Courses
Our courses are open to all older people and disabled younger people anywhere in the world. They are especially suited to older members of the community who are isolated either geographically, or through physical or social circumstances (including carers).
We offer a wide variety of course subjects which can be studied at any level of interest. We aim to provide something for everyone, so our courses may vary in length and depth.
The courses are informal, there are no exams or assignments and no certificates issued. Each course is offered as Independent Study. A number of courses also have a Course Leader, at dates listed on the ‘with leader’ Courses list.
Courses with a Leader:
The chronological list of all up and coming Courses with a Leader is added to as each course becomes available. A course does not appear on the list when it is currently running. Click the course name for a summary of the course.

the view of the U3A Online Committee and/or Members.

I enjoyed the course with Mardi. She worked very hard to make it interesting and inclusive against quite some odds. Unfortunately the commitment level of students did not rise to that enthusiasm. If one signs up for such interactive courses then the idea is surely that everyone participates for the good of all participants ? To push oneself beyond the comfort zone is surely what education is about at whatever age ?
