Entrepreneurs and business owners need to improve their skills and knowledge to succeed—one of the ways of strengthening offered by online educational resources. 
During the last decade, a MOOC becomes a popular way of learning. A massive open online course (MOOC) is an online course aimed at unlimited participation and free access via the web. Educational websites offer online courses with video lectures as well as quizzes to check the learning process. Many courses have additional interactive learning instruments, such as forums or social media discussions, to support community synergies among students, professors, teaching assistants, and immediate feedback to quick quizzes and assignments.
Most of the educational platforms provide their introductory courses for free. However, for additional payment, they usually offer the possibility to get certificates after the successful completion of studies.
