Many open courses are offered by large institutions, but now the movement is also extending to government and private initiatives aimed at professionals and those wishing to become professionals. The range of courses extends to all fields, both technical and human sciences, and at all levels, from initiation to doctorate or its equivalent. Most of the time, the teaching quality is top-notch.
We have included in this directory courses from Khan Academy, now available in several languages including French, Code Academy, Ted Ed, Néomédia, other independent institutions and no doubt others in the future. In practice, we do not separate Moocs from "open courses".
Open courses don't often lead to recognized certification, but coupled with an independent badge system, such as Open badges, independent, community or social certification is beginning to appear, and studies can be recognized in several professional fields. P2PU and BadgeOS for WordPress are just two examples!
Distance learning is clearly becoming an alternative to face-to-face training; ideally, the two complement each other.
