ECONIR WEBCoursera is a online learning platform that offers courses from world-renowned universities and companies. At the end you can earn a certificate of completion. There is a broad range of topics to choose from, as well as different levels so that you can find a course that suits you.
You can find out more information on different courses offered by Coursera under the online courses section on this website.
Coursera and edX are very similar. edX is also an online course provider through which you can enroll at courses offered by over a 100 leading institutes from all over the world. It brings university-level courses right to your bedroom! There are courses on a broad range of topics and you can earn a certificate of completition.
In comparison to Coursera, I feel like most of the courses offered on edX take a longer time to complete (around 10 weeks). This means that completing a edX course may require more dedication than completing a Coursera course. On the other hand, you are sure to gain a deep understanding on the topic the course is on, and edX definetly offers a lot of interesting courses! In conclusion, if you have the time and patience, definetly go for a edX course if you find one that interests you, even if it takes several weeks to complete. Overcome your fears and challenge yourself!
