It comes with no surprise that the traffic in online courses has skyrocketed during the corona crisis. ClassCentral, a listing of online courses from different providers, analysed which specific courses online learners were interested in during the pandemic. Using data from three providers – Coursera, EdX, FutureLearn – and combining it with their own they analysed the courses with the highest enrollment trends from 15 March to 15 May. A few courses related to COVID-19 that were launched during the pandemic made it to the list. Yale University’s The Science of Well-Being turned out to have the most enrollments. Have a look at the 100 most popular courses during the crisis.
