List of Online Courses (MOOC) conducting websites for Computer Science Students

This are the list of best free online course taught by the best teachers experts worldwide. Every student must learn from this online courses those who are studying in Tier-3 Tier-4 colleges in India as everyone knows  how the teachers  are in that colleges. If some students due to bad luck has not got the best college even though he can learn from this best teachers worldwide and interact with them in their forums.
      I suggest every computer science student should give at least one hour to online courses from the given list of websites below other than college and other activities (In my further post I will suggest you must learn courses year wise/semester wise).

Almost every courses you will learn in universities you will find in this MOOCs, mostly taught by the Experts whose Reference books are suggested by the universities.

This courses will be helpful in your PLACEMENTS, Entrance Exams for higher studies and the subjects of your interest.

   

A massive open online course (MOOC) is an online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web. In addition to traditional course materials such as videos, readings and problem sets, MOOCs provide interactive user forums that help build a community for the students, professors, and teaching assistants (TAs). MOOCs are a recent development in distance education.

Although early MOOCs often emphasized open access features, such as open licensing of content, open structure, learning goals and connectivism, to promote the reuse and remixing of resources, some notable newer MOOCs use closed licenses for their course materials, while maintaining free access for students.

I believe that the following websites could use our student textbooks, as they are also for free.

Coursera believe in connecting people to a great education so that anyone around the world can learn without limits.

Udacity’s mission is to bring accessible, affordable, engaging, and highly effective higher education to the world. They believe that higher education is a basic human right, and seek to empower their students to advance their education and careers.

“Higher education is broken with increasingly higher costs for both students and our society at large. Education is no longer a one-time event but a lifelong experience. Education should be less passive listening (no long lectures) and more active doing. Education should empower students to succeed not just in school but in life.”

Udacity are reinventing education for the 21st century by bridging the gap between real-world skills, relevant education, and employment.
