The only MOOCs I even like is the Australian "Open 2 Study" (O2S) with a FREE Certificates and Transcript.  
https://www.open2study.com/courses

I came across Open 2 Study yesterday when searching for free certificates. Alison and Saylor also have open certificates. I don't really care for Alison's course offerings, and Saylor has cut many of their courses. The reason why I focus on certificates so much is because, if you want to earn credits by PLA, your school might require a certificate of completion to prove that you did the work in the MOOC.

I agree!  I think O2S is the only ones with a transcript with grades and Certificate (you print out the two pages).  I have taken about 12 total.
