The numbers speak for themselves: Michigan Online has connected thousands of users to learning opportunities from the University of Michigan since its launch last month.

Michigan Online brings all University of Michigan massive open online courses (MOOCs), Teach-Outs, and online learning experiences together in one place. Browse the catalog, find an opportunity of interest, and join leading experts at the University of Michigan to learn what you want, whenever you want.

It also connects the campus community to Coursera for Michigan, which gives U-M faculty, staff, and students free access to receive certificates from Coursera upon completing courses created by University of Michigan faculty and instructional teams.

Learners who joined us on Michigan Online and Coursera for Michigan quickly began enrolling in and completing courses.

There is typically one Teach-Out available at a time, so keep an eye out for new offerings.
