Online Course Deal & Free Learning Watch

Why this is recommended

A $200 certificate at $39, a bootcamp scholarship or a free Ivy course with a credential is money and momentum, and a platform that deletes purchased courses is worth knowing before the download window closes.

What the Tab covers

Who it is for

Anyone learning a skill, a language or a certificate on their own time, and the parents paying for a teen's prep course.

When it runs

Learners plan the week on Sunday; course platforms run sales through the weekend

Scope

Coursera, edX, Udemy, LinkedIn Learning, Skillshare, MasterClass, Domestika, Codecademy, DataCamp, Pluralsight, Khan Academy, Brilliant, Duolingo, Babbel, Rosetta Stone, Kaplan and Princeton Review; sales of 40 percent or more and free-access windows; free courses and certificates from MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Yale and the Google, Microsoft, IBM and AWS career certificate programs; library card benefits; employer and government tuition and training benefits; bootcamp scholarships and income-share changes; content removals, price increases and end of lifetime access

Suggested task

The objective your Tab starts with. You can edit every line of it once the Tab is yours.

Sales and free-access windows at the big course platforms, free university courses and certificates worth a resume line, library and employer benefits that pay for courses, language app and test prep deals, scholarships and aid for bootcamps and certificates and platform changes that remove content or raise prices, with the platform or course first.

Track online learning for adults and teens. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: sales of 40 percent or more and free-access windows at Coursera, edX, Udemy, LinkedIn Learning, Skillshare, MasterClass, Domestika, Codecademy, DataCamp, Pluralsight, Khan Academy, Brilliant, Duolingo, Babbel, Rosetta Stone, Kaplan and Princeton Review; free university courses and certificates from MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Yale and the Google, Microsoft, IBM and AWS career certificate programs; library card benefits that include courses; employer and government tuition and training benefit changes; bootcamp scholarships and income-share changes; and platform changes that remove content, raise prices or end lifetime access. Prefer platform pages, university pages and established education reporting; ignore affiliate roundups and unverified promo codes. Put the platform or course first in the title with the price and the window. Use high severity for a free credential from a top university, a sale ending within 3 days, or a content removal with a download deadline. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what it is, the price, the window, how to get it, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
