Dino 101: Dinosaur Paleobiology

Overview

Dino 101 is exactly what it sounds like — a 12-lesson deep dive into non-avian dinosaurs, covering anatomy, eating habits, locomotion, growth, environmental adaptation, and ultimately extinction. What sets it apart is production: lessons are filmed on location in museums, fossil-preparation labs, and active dig sites, so learners see real paleontological work rather than slides. At an estimated 3-5 hours per week, it's a manageable beginner course that has drawn nearly 92,000 learners, from casual dinosaur enthusiasts to aspiring paleobiology students.
