Sequel to the World’s Most Popular Online Course; Entrepreneurship Goes Massive; FutureLearn’s New Pricing Model

Two (potentially) amazing MOOCs are starting this month:

Mindshift: The star team of Barbara Oakley and Terrence Sejnowski are back with a new MOOC. With over 1.5 million students, their previous MOOC (Learning How To Learn) is the most popular online course in the world. It is also one of Class Central’s Top 50 MOOCs of all time. Read more.Startup School: The folks behind Y Combinator, “the world's most powerful start-up incubator,” have launched a new MOOC that attempts to scale their mentorship program to thousands of startups.Read more.

We also published Part 4 of our Data Science Career Guide. This time we recommend you the best data visualization courses.

In not-so-good news, UK-based FutureLearn has introduced a new pricing model. The exams are now behind a paywall (similar to Coursera). The course content is still free to access, but it’s only available for the duration of the course and two weeks after it ends. For unlimited access to the course, learners needs to upgrade. That costs anywhere between £24–69.

As usual, click the button below to see a list of 1,900 free online courses starting in April 2017. Or check out Class Central's list of Ten Most Popular MOOCs starting this month.
