This year 2020, the coronavirus pandemic has forced every single industry to be available online. Online Education and Digital Learning Platforms are nothing new and have always been there on the internet, but people rarely realized their importance. But this year, when people were forced to stay home because of the pandemic fear, most of us were ready to compromise on entertainment, food, or travel but not on education and learning. So, people started relying on Online Learning Platforms to move forward with their studies, learn any new skills, or upgrade their existing skills. Yes, that may be a little late discovery, but Distance Learning is gaining momentum more than ever before.

Online/Distance Learning Platforms let the students learn at their own pace and thus enabling them with personalized experiences. Also, on the other hand, anyone who is willing to share their knowledge with the world can do so by using these platforms and can earn a decent income. But, the next question arises in everyone’s mind. How reliable are these Digital Learning Platforms? No worries. We have researched for you, and here is the list of most trusted Digital platforms that you can leverage either to learn or to teach. Let us see one by one in detail.

Moreover, you get a certificate upon completion of the course. With Udemy, you can be reassured that you are in safe hands, and now, quality education is possible anytime and from anywhere.

To be an instructor, all you need is to sign up as a premium instructor on the subject you are very familiar with and strong. Once your account is confirmed, you can start creating video content and start publishing it. It can open up a larger customer base for your course, like professionals and students across the world. You can even promote your course on the platform and also if people start finding your course useful and valuable, they are automatically going to refer you to their friends/family.

  1. Skillshare

Also, certifications from Coursera are highly reputable that will help highlight your resume and stand out from the crowd.

However, if you are a technical person and can provide high-quality content, you can partner with any institution/company to teach on Coursera as the platform doesn’t deal with individual instructors.

  1. edX

edX is the most trusted and authentic global learning community that has students of all ages, backgrounds, and from all over the world.

The courses are pre-recorded video lectures that you can access for a limited time. Also, the courses do come with assignments, discussion forums, and projects as well. Most of the edX courses are free, but if you want unlimited access and a certificate, you would need to enroll in a paid course.

If you are tech-savvy and willing to share your immense knowledge with the not-so-privileged people across the world, come on in. You are most welcome to do so and shed light on millions of young minds.

  1. LinkedIn Learning

LinkedIn Learning is a compelling Online Learning Platform that has 16000+ courses on various topics that you can explore. The first month is free to subscribe to, and hence you can utilize it to see how comfortable you are with the course and the platform. LinkedIn is known for its reputation, and owning a LinkedIn certificate will help you move forward in your career for sure.

If you have extraordinary skills, preferably in the technical/ IT field, and can share them with aspiring individuals from the same field, you can become an Udacity Instructor too. Do mentor those who need most of your guidance.

  1. Futurelearn

Futurelearn prefers brands and established institutions to do their educational content. However, if you have relevant skills, you can submit all needed proofs and documents. They may hire you if you are the perfect fit for their needs.

  1. MasterClass

The MasterClass is the right platform if you are looking for Creative Classes, Lifestyle, and Personality Development. They offer high-quality video content for optimal learning, assignments for practice, and discussion forums to clarify doubts. No deadlines and you can learn at your own pace.
