There are hundreds of MOOCs on offer. Where can you start?

MOOC List is a directory of courses that allows you to search, for example by provider, category, language, university or type of certificate.

OpenCulture curate a list of MOOCs from Great Universities, arranged by start date and including evergreen courses, which you can take at any time.
