AI and cybersecurity education, digital marketing training, data analysis tools, and e-commerce management education all help ensure you remain competitive in 2025.
1. Udemy
Udemy is one of the world’s largest e-learning platforms and offers courses spanning programming and data science, business skills development, photography and personal development – at competitive rates that come complete with completion certificates.
Search functions allow learners to enter specific words or phrases that accurately describe the course they wish to find quickly and efficiently. Predictive search results appear as you type, enabling users to locate their ideal courses quickly.
Instructors are welcome to create and promote their courses on the platform, but aren’t required to do so. The website utilizes a proprietary algorithm to calculate course ratings according to factors like student engagement, recency of reviews and number of reviews; instructors who receive an unusually large amount of negative feedback may have their courses removed in order to ensure quality user experiences for all.
2. Coursera
As its name implies, Coursera provides online learning from universities and companies around the world. Their slogan states this very clearly: “100% online learning from world’s finest universities and organizations”.
This website offers short courses (4-10 hours), specializations, and degree programs that enable students to develop new skills or gain new credentials. Each course comes complete with video lectures, reading assignments, quizzes and quizzes – plus they can interact with fellow students through discussion forums!
Coursera courses range from free to paid options; no matter the cost, a certificate earned through Coursera can add great value to a resume, especially in fields requiring professional certifications.
Coursera collaborates with businesses to offer training and development for employees. This assists with any necessary retraining or upskilling as more jobs become automated, while its extensive content makes Coursera an excellent choice for corporate learning.
3. LinkedIn Learning
LinkedIn Learning is a self-directed library of instructional videos. Content is organized into videos (single instructional morsels), courses and learning paths (an array of multiple courses – this can be overwhelming!). Learners may access their content 24/7 from desktop computers as well as mobile devices like an iPhone, iPad or Android phone or tablet. Downloadable exercise files help reinforce learning retention while assessments monitor skill development. Once a course has been completed successfully a certificate of completion will be awarded that can be displayed within LinkedIn profiles.
University employees (faculty, students and staff) can access LinkedIn Learning as part of their UChicago Benefits package. To use LinkedIn Learning simply login using your CNetID and password; prospective learners also receive a month free trial which makes assessing its benefits much simpler. LinkedIn Learning also offers transcripts for each video which allows viewers to read along while watching it or use as a study aid on-the-go.
