THE BACKGROUND

Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) are a very popular source of knowledge for various topics. A chance email gave me the opportunity to dig deeper into the courses that learners were most interested in and make a visualization to depict the preferences.

THE DATA STORY

Free online courses of 2019 - what excited the learners?

When I opened the weekly mail from freecodecamp in December, a link that caught my attention was about 100 most popular free online university courses of 2019. I love to take online courses, so I got all excited about this post and immediately opened the link.
The list is collated by Dhaval Shah and his team, of Class Central, a wonderful site that helps people in choosing which online course to take. Dhaval talks about Massive Open Online Courses or MOOCs and the method they used at Class Central to create the list.
