hi guys,
today in this post I write about best 3 top online course sites among lakhs of sites.
1) edx
Founded and run by educational powerhouses Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, EdX features “learning designed specifically for interactive study via the web.” The site currently offers online courses from Harvard, MIT and Berkley, and plans to include classes from Wellesley, Georgetown, and the University of Texas in the fall.
Though the site claims to hold students to the high standards the schools involved are known for, users receive certificates rather than credit for completing courses. I included EdX here because it has a number of classes listed for this summer, also the course are user friendliness.
2)coursera
- Extremely diverse catalogue. You can find more topics in more areas than anywhere else. Besides the high-demand business and computer science courses, they also have many many arts, humanities, psychology, self-developments courses. Don't underestimate them. Many of them are really brilliant and a joy to take. I took Social Psychology and a few history courses from them besides the bunch of tech courses I take from them. Absolutely amazing!
- Extremely flexible deadline. They made deadlines so flexible it is impossible to fail. Basically, you only stop learning a certain course, but you can't fail a course. They have achieved this by introducing auto-cohorts and implement soft deadlines.
- Very easy to use forums, hence, discussions are quite active. The forum is one of the best features of their platform. It beats edX by a landslide in this respect.
- Peer review system: their peer-reviewed assignment is more expensive, and easier to use than edX, allowing them to have more projects as part of the courses.
- Strong identity verification mechanism: the webcam photo ID verification + the typing pattern is quite strong. I personally tested to break it. It was quite amazing how the typing pattern can indeed verify my identity.
3) KHAN ACADEMY
Founded by Salman Khan in 2006, this non-profit website now boasts over 4,000 education videos covering topics from finance to animation to art history. Each video is about ten minutes long and begins with a blank screen that the narrator (Khan himself in over 3,000 of the videos, according to Forbes) draws on in bright colours to illustrate concepts. Khan’s style is surprisingly easy to follow. “I teach the way I wish I was taught,” Khan says.
