"The Great Courses" is an online learning community that was founded in 1990. It offers over 800 courses in more than 13 categories, all taught by expert professors. The platform is designed to help people learn new skills at their own pace. It provides both online and offline learning options and is compatible with various devices like Roku, Kindle Fire, and even DVD. There's no subscription fee, so users only commit to what they pay for, and there are several free courses to sample. However, some users have expressed dissatisfaction with their purchases, particularly regarding customer service and credit card issues. It's always recommended to do thorough research and read reviews before making a purchase.
