FutureLearn was created by The Open University and (originally) twelve partner universities to provide on-line courses. Over the five plus years it has been in existence, the partners count has increased to 141.
The courses cover a wide area of study, technology, medicine, anthropology, marketing, arts, humanities, languages, music etc.
The courses are free, but access is for a limited amount of time. To extend access indefinitely and to receive a certificate of study requires a payment. A number of the courses are modules from a larger course including degree courses.
