Back in October 2011, Stanford professors launched three
free online courses, open to the public. One by one, these courses
went massive, with enrollments topping 100.000 students each.
Soon the media was calling these courses MOOCs, short for
massive open online courses.
Since then, more than 1.200 universities around the world
have launched free online courses. In addition to the larger global
MOOC platforms, many national governments around the world
have launched their own country-specific MOOC platforms,
including India, Italy, Israel, Mexico and Thailand.
After a decade of popularization, in 2021, over
220 million students had signed up for at least one course on one
of these platforms, and 40 million did so in 2021 alone. MOOCs
and MOOC platforms are still growing, even after the crazy
“Year of the MOOC” prompted by the pandemic and travel
restrictions.
At Class Central, we try to catalog as many MOOCs as
possible, and our listing currently includes more than 150.000 of
them, from MOOC platforms and other online learning
platforms. But due to limited resources, we cannot index every
single one. If you’re looking for MOOCs from around the world,
this list is our best attempt to catalog all different MOOC
platforms that are out there.
