Iversity (stylised as "iversity") is a Berlin-based online education platform. Since October 2013, iversity has specialised in providing online courses and lectures in higher education, specifically MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses).[1][2][3] Courses are free and open for anyone to enroll and participate.[4] Many of them are conducted in English or German, but also in other languages.[5] iversity cooperates with individual professors as well as different European universities.[6][7][8][9][10] Some of the courses were winners of the MOOC Production Fellowship held in early 2013.[11][12][13] iversity.org officially launched the MOOC platform online in October 2013[8][14][15] and as of February 2015 has a user base of 600,000 online learners, enrolled in 63 courses offered by 41 partner universities. iversity is the only MOOC platform offering courses with ECTS-integration.[16][17] iversity has branch offices in Bernau bei Berlin, Germany and Berlin.
