  • I like this discussion very much. we are the midnight club! I'm off to store. Tucking you all in .. there, there. Leaving the door open a crack...

  • A couple of times I have studied online distance learning courses via University continuing adult education departments. 

    The courses attracted a student cohort drawn from around the World.  That was a bonus as, whatever time of day, there were often a few other students awake and logged into the couse portal.

    The key is to avoid the ones scheduled over MS Teams etc. (as they require fixed time login).  Instead, the type to which I refer use a portal, perhaps with chatboard breakout rooms per course unit / common room etc. which are accessed via an online portal / platform (where you study to a schedule, but at your own pace within each week to suit your timezone / night owl situation).

    I would consdier enrolment on another such course at some future point.
