The Online Course Report website, a portal for finding the best online courses, has put together a list of the most popular online courses of all time.
Gathering data from around 185 MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) made available by different e-learning platforms and universities, Online Course Report was able to assemble a list, which, based on the number of people who joined, would be able to tell us what the most popular courses were and what the areas of most interest among Internet users were.
