Best websites for online courses

There are hundreds of sites offering online courses for free and for a fee. Some
of the top sites for online courses are as follows.
1. Coursera: Most of the courses we’ve listed on our site are from
Coursera, and for good reason. It’s among the most popular and credible
sites in the world for online courses on a huge range of topics. They have
tie-ups with the top universities in the world. Learning from the best
professors in the world is unmatched.

2. Khan Academy: This was designed as a non-profit initiative and has


made all its courses free. The idea was to basic education available for
everyone across the world. The flip side is that most courses are at a
foundation level, so you may need to go to another site to learn the
advanced topics.

3. Udacity: This is similar to Coursera, but much smaller. The focus is on


technology related courses. The fee structure is also more flexible, allowing
you to pay on a monthly basis. So you don’t pay for the full course if you
decide to stop mid-way.

4. Udemy: In terms of pricing, this would be among the more expensive


sites. Their business and technology related courses are quite popular.
