Why enrolment counts are the useful number
Course ratings cluster high and say little. enrolledCount is a demand measurement: it shows how many people chose to start learning a topic, which makes it a usable proxy for the market size of a skill. Combined with skills, the catalogue becomes a map of what the labour market is training for.
Notes
enrolledCountandratingCountare cumulative and only ever rise, so cross-course comparisons should account for how long a course has existed.durationWeeksis the provider's estimate, not measured effort.skillsare publisher-declared tags, which makes them marketing copy as much as curriculum, but they are consistent enough to aggregate.- Specializations and certificates bundle several courses; set
includeSpecializationsto false if you want single courses only.
