Open & Free Courses are for independent learners and include self-guiding materials and activities that are freely available for you to use! Plus, they are available all the time so you can learn at your own pace.
We do not provide any certification or verification of completion. If you would like to receive credit or certification for completing the course, you need to make arrangements with your local institution.
Many institutions around the world are using OLI courses as part of their curricula. If you are taking one of these courses your instructor will provide you with a Course Key.
Credit for course completion will be provided by your academic institution. Academic courses include all (or part) of the materials and activities included in the Free Courses, plus a gradebook and may include tests.
