This is a quick overview of Udemy, an online learning platform that allows anyone to create online courses, and hence, now has a catalogue of some 150,000 of them. Obviously, the quality varies. "As on other large platforms that host... user-generated content, only a small number of creators end up making a living off the site, and a few of those end up as superstars within its system." But as Jeffrey Young writes, "the company has curated a library of 5,500 of its highest-rated technical and business courses and sells licenses to employers and others who want to offer those courses to their staff for professional development." This not only saves customers the trouble of searching and curating, it can also ensure continued support for the course (a problem I've experienced when I've signed up for Udemy courses).
