Massively Open Online Courses’ audience are growing steadily and their recognition as equivalent to a regular university is slowly establishing itself. Here is a list of the 9 most popular and trusted MOOC platforms out there. However, not every MOOC platform is worth your time and few of them give out trustworthy degrees
EdX
Free online university courses from around 30 universities from all over the world
- Courses are free, but you will have to pay for a degree if you want to receive an “honorary” degree from one of the universities
- Can be quite challenging
Udemy
The perfect tool to acquire more practical skills in one particular domain
- Anyone can create their own course, and the quality of courses vary greatly
- Price depends on the teacher, but be sure to check the reviews of that particualr course before paying anything
Canvas
Not limited to prestigious universities, Canvas offers courses from a much wider selection of less reknowned universities.
- Makes courses more accessible and less intimidating if you want to jump in a field you don’t know anything about, but still offers access to top universities.
