The 25 Most Popular New Online Courses of 2021: A single provider took 18 of the top slots, and you'll never guess which one. - JESSICA STILLMAN, INC

This year, when Class Central founder Dhawal Shah emailed me a heads-up that his company's latest list was out, I was shocked when I clicked over. This year's edition looks exclusively at newly launched classes, ranking them by the number of students who enrolled. And, as I scanned down the list, the same provider was taking up nearly all the slots.  It wasn't a classic prestige school like Stanford or Yale. It was Google. What's up with that?  

(NOTE from Ray: This is indicative that Google has arrived in higher ed! It is in a dominant position among the new and emerging massive education market - Take notice, this is an inflection point for the future that we in higher ed must not ignore !)
