Course Offerings

I noticed that the entries for edX and Udacity both list the current or upcoming course offerings for those respective institutions. I know that Coursera has more offerings than those two combined, but perhaps putting a drop-down list, like the one on Udacity would be a good idea?

Yes

Coursera

Anyone can tell me is there any certification upon completing a free online course from coursera

Parallel construction of articles on MOOC-providers would make understanding/comparisons easier

The Wikipedia articles for MOOC-providers tend to be very different from one another. Coming here after reading the EdX article, I was surprised by the differences between them:

Coursera TOC: 1 Business model 2 Courses 3 Partners 4 Keystroke biometrics 5 IT infrastructure 6 See also 7 References 8 External links
EdX TOC: 1 Functionality and organization 2 History 3 Research 4 Participating institutions 5 Courses 6 See also 7 References 8 External links
Udacity TOC: 1 Courses 1.1 Course format 2 Enrollment 3 Certification 4 Awards 5 See also 6 References 7 External links

It seems to me that parallel construction would help us compare these organizations to one another. Anybody agree, disagree? Should we start by creating a longer TOC that incorporates all elements people have considered important for these articles? HouseOfChange (talk) 04:47, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi HouseOfChange,

I'd be interested to help out. A suggestion - instead of only Coursera, EdX and Udacity, could we pick all commercial types as listed here, to begin with?

Section on Partners

Hello,
What is the purpose of having a separate section on Partners when an updated list is available on the Coursera website itself?
May I delete this entire section and corresponding references?
