Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs)
A transformation is taking place in the world of higher education— one which is starting to impact the corporate training market. Higher education institutions, in partnership with a series of well-funded platform and service providers, are now offering free online courses (many of which include video, rich media, and interactive assessments) authored by top college professors in the form of massive open online courses (MOOCs).
Enrolling on a MOOC course provides a unique opportunity to learn from the world top faculty with no cost! However these courses require a commitment of time and effort to be successful, they are not for the casual learner. MOOC courses have a start date and usually run for several weeks. Every module has assignments and there is a project at the end in most cases. This is a lot of work but having recently completed a Finance course from Stamford, I can assure you that you will learn a ton if you complete all the Modules and assignments.
Where do I sign up?
There are four major providers in the US:
1. Coursea
2. Khan Academy
3. Udacity
4. edX
There are hundreds of courses to choose from. Please share your experience so we can all learn more about these wonderful resources!
