Earlier this year we began telling you about a potential revolution in education — the birth of MOOCs, or Massive Open Online Courses. As explained above, these courses let students, thousands at a time, take courses from great universities for free online.

But, together, they’re producing courses at breakneck speed, and we thought it was time to start organizing a list for you.

  • Statements of Accomplishment, or 
  • Certificates of Mastery. 
The list, which happens to include another 25 courses not bearing certificates, will be regularly updated. You can expect it to grow rapidly, and you can always access it by clicking Certificate Courses in the top navigation of our web site. Below we have listed a number of online courses starting this week:
Get the full list here. It includes 75 Massive Open Courses in total.
