FutureLearn, next on our list of best websites like Coursera, Udacity and other MOOCs, says they offer you a diverse range of free courses and content from the leading universities in the world. They’re all available on your mobile phones, tablets, and desktops. What makes this platform unique is that it’s in partnership with both universities and cultural institutions, including the British Council, the British Library, the British Museum, and the National Film and Television School.
Most of the courses last 6-10 weeks, but there are few shorter ones which can be completed in 2-3 weeks. During the course, learners get video, audio and reading materials as well as weekly assignments usually followed by mini-quiz which can be taken unlimited number of times. All mentioned material contains a space in the margins for learner’s comments and additional questions. Assignments come with precise instructions and are shared with others in order to get constructive feedback and suggestions for improvement of the work. At one point, learners will encounter a test which is scored and later included in overall mark. The test can be retaken up to three times.
Success is defined as at least 90% of the given steps with the overall grade of at least 70%. Learners then gain the opportunity to buy the Certificate of Achievement in both the Digital and Printable version.
