Introduction

Udemy by Udemy is your one-stop for all manner of online courses, enabling you to learn about subjects such as literature, photography, carpentry, graphic design, health and fitness, dance, and much more. It was updated on May 23, 2013. 

User Experience

This app features literally thousands of online courses which you can work through at a speed that is suitable for you. In the courses you’ll find everything from video and audio content to articles and various presentations to help you learn quickly and thoroughly.
 

Features

To speed up your studies even more, you can watch videos at multiple speeds, so if you’re finding a particular section easy or you already know the content, you can whizz through it to recap and then move on to the meaty stuff that you are less familiar with.

Every course can be downloaded and watched locally without the need for an Internet connection. This is perfect for studying while on the go and enables you to squeeze in short study sessions no matter where you are.
