This study conducts a data-driven comparative analysis of selected global Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) platforms, examining their diverse offerings, linguistic support, and key features to understand their roles in the evolving online education landscape. Utilizing extensive data tables, the research evaluates platforms based on subject categories, specific course availability, and the array of languages provided. Findings reveal a significant disparity among platforms, with leaders like Coursera and Udemy offering a broad spectrum of subjects and extensive multilingual support. In contrast, others specialize in niche areas or cater to specific regional linguistic communities. The analysis highlights how platform choices should align with learner goals, whether they are seeking formal credentials, specialized technical skills, or budget-friendly options. Ultimately, the paper provides insights into the strategic positioning and accessibility of MOOCs worldwide.
