MOOCs are educational courses which are delivered online and are open and available for anyone to enrol. MOOCs are often delivered by renowned professors from prestigious universities and they're usually free to access, making them an affordable and flexible way to gain in-demand skills.
The World University Rankings by MOOC Performance 2021 (WURMP 2021) include 200 universities covering 34 different countries across the world offering online courses on the three leading MOOC platforms - Coursera, edX and FutureLearn. This year, 14 new entrants are included in the top 200 with 255 universities evaluated in total.
The tables rank universities based on 5 performance indicators that measure an institution’s performance across the number of MOOCs provided, the provision of course programs, course programs bearing credit, MOOC-based degrees and the institution's average world ranking.
Coventry University(UK) took the #1 rank primarily through its impressive provision of 21 MOOC-based degrees* available on the FutureLearn Platform - that's 15 more degrees than the next best achieving university for their number of MOOC-based degrees, Deakin University (Australia) with 6 degrees also delivered via FutureLearn.
EdTechX Challenge — Global Innovation Challenge ($25,000+ in prizes available)
In collaboration with EdTechXGlobal, MoocLab is pleased to announce the inaugural EdTechX Challenge - a virtual student competition to source the best ideas that can transform the future of learning and work worldwide.
The EdTechX Challenge is a global competition that invites students to identify key problems in education & learning and submit proposals to help address them. Submissions can span across a broad range— from ideas for a reimagined university to creative tools for virtual classrooms! You may submit ideas you are currently working on (MVP/idea-stage startups, side projects, etc.) as well as new ideas designed specifically for the challenge.
Registrations are now open and submissions will be accepted until the end of March 2021. A panel of global judges will help select a group of finalists who will be invited to join EdTechX's exclusive talent network and have their profiles shared with partners/sponsors for contracting, internship, or full-time work opportunities.
Three winning teams will receive prize packages worth $25,000+ including professional mentoring, internships, subscription credits, networking opportunities, and more. These teams will also be invited to receive their prize packages at our virtual EdTechX Challenge Award Ceremony held in May 2021.
