The MOOC landscape has grown to include 9,400 courses, more than 500 MOOC-based credentials, and more than a dozen graduate degrees.<\/span> <\/strong>The total number of MOOCs available to register for at any point of time is larger than ever, thanks to tweaks in the scheduling policy by MOOC providers.<\/p>\n

However, for the first time, we are seeing a slowdown in the number of new learners, a direct result of a shift in priorities towards users who are willing to pay.<\/span> <\/strong>According to data gathered by Class Central, around 20 million new learners signed up for their first MOOC in 2017, fewer than the 23 million new learners who registered for a MOOC in 2016. The total number of MOOC learners is now 78 million.<\/p>\n

Here is a list of the top five MOOC providers by registered users:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Coursera: 30 million users<\/li>\n
  2. edX: 14 million users<\/li>\n
  3. XuetangX: 9.3 million users<\/li>\n
  4. FutureLearn: 7.1 million users<\/li>\n
  5. Udacity: 5 million users<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    …<\/p>\n

    Up to now, efforts to offer college credit for MOOCs have been targeted towards students who are enrolled in on-campus degree programs at the institutions that produced the MOOCs. Now, for the first time, we are seeing examples in which on-campus students have the option to earn credit from MOOCs, even from colleges and universities other than the one they attend.<\/p>\n
