Editor's Notes

- How big is the typical MOOC? - while enrollment has reached up to ~230,000, 25,000 students enrolled is a much more typical MOOC size. In project management there are nearly 100 free course through MOOC providers such as Coursera, udemy and FutureLearn; over 1,000 project management related courses available through LinkedIn Learning; over 11,000 project management tutorials available on YouTube, and 1000s of community groups on LinkedIn and Google+.
- The majority of top courses come from two platforms: Coursera and edX. The latter, in this case, amounts to MIT and Harvard courses, whereas top Coursera courses in this list come from several schools. Of the 185 courses considered (unique, not including versions of the same course), 66 were on Coursera and 55 on edX. There may be other MOOCs with higher enrollment figures than those presented here. Courses that require payment for full access were not considered.

- The start-up boasts it is a high growth business that has served more than 50 000 students since inception with course completion rates that average 88%. GetSmarter's portfolio includes over 70 short courses offered with its university partners, including Business Sustainability Management from the University of Cambridge's Institute for Sustainability Leadership, Global Health Delivery from HarvardX, and Healthcare Informatics from the University of Chicago. It operates under a revenue share model with its university clients. The UCT MOOCs have done it again, with three courses making it onto Class Central’s Top 50 MOOCs of all time in 2017. This year the MOOCs, What is a Mind? (on the 2016 list as well), Extinctions: Past & Present and Understanding Clinical Research: Behind the Statistics, all made it onto this exclusive list. The list is compiled from reviews submitted by MOOC participants across the the globe and with over 8000 MOOCs from over 750 universities worldwide currently available (Class Central 2017), the team are ecstatic about the achievement. MOOC team project manager, Sukaina Walji, believes that, “the rankings reflect positive opinions of some participants and we are thrilled that the academics’ passion and commitment to sharing their knowledge is being recognised”. What is a Mind?, Extinctions and Understanding Clinical Research are all lead by top-rated researchers at the University of Cape Town (UCT). Professor Mark Solms (What is a Mind?) is a world-renowned neuroscientist, a pioneer in the field of neuropsychoanalysis, Professor Anusuya Chinsamy-Turan (Extinctions) is an award-winning palaeobiologist and author, and Dr Juan Klopper (Understanding Clinical Research) is the Head of Post-Graduate Surgical Research and the Head of Surgical Education at UCT. The most recent of the three MOOCs, Extinctions: Past & Present (which looks at how the earth’s biodiversity has changed over millennia) has sparked great learner participation and insight. According to one enthused learner, “this has been a most interesting and instructive course - one of the best I've ever done, and I'm a FutureLearn addict. The material has been well chosen and warmly presented by our enthusiastic and engaging lead educator and her contributors.”
