1. MOOC Platforms
MOOC stands for Massive Open Online Course: a free educational course which is delivered online and is open to anyone wishing to enrol. MOOCs are often delivered by renowned professors from famous universities and typically feature a blend of video content, quizzes, discussion boards, downloadable readings, and peer-to-peer assessment of learning. The goal of MOOCs is to reach a much larger audience than traditional courses can accommodate. Often, MOOCs offer Certificates for a fee which are awarded on successful completion of a course, and in some cases transferable college credit. Some MOOC platforms also offer skill-based courses, some of which are paid.

Course providers offering free online courses and educational resources. These differ from MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) in that they don’t offer the whole learning experience as described above.

3. Low-cost Online Course Providers
These providers offer an alternative to traditional campus based courses by providing affordable skill-based or academic courses online, some with transferable credit which is recognised by certain colleges or universities.
