Massive Open Online Courses have evolved significantly since the early days of free, open B2C beginnings. In addition to the giants, which provide learning solutions to millions of people worldwide, many universities and entire countries have now launched their own MOOC's or partnered with large MOOC providers to offer their students/workforce with flexible options for ongoing learning.

MOOC providers have more recently modified their business models to include paid components for testing and credentials, formed alliances with universities around delivery and recognition of learning and have become a 'training' provider to corporates for upskilling their workforces.
