Udemy
Udemy is not a school. It is a marketplace where anyone can publish a course and set its price, and that one fact explains almost everything about the experience; the enormous catalogue, the permanent sales, the five-star averages, and the gap between the best course in a category and the median one. Treated as a marketplace, it is excellent value.
