Online courses on Open edX

Created as part of the initial ReLDI project during 2016, our online courses in Serbian can be used for self study, as complementary sources in preparing university courses or as supporting materials for supervising student projects. With mandatory free-of-charge registration on the Open edX platform of the University of Zurich, these four courses are open to all interested parties:
