I am in support of "Course". These sites all use the term "course" (in no particular order): EdX, Coursera, Udacity, EduMine, FutureLearn, OpenCourseWare, Class Central. AFAIU, the en-GB usage of "Course" is roughly equivalent to "Course of Study", "Degree Program", "Major / Minor". If necessary, a popular vote? Alternatives to course? * en-GB: "Module" * "class" - this is less than ideal. * "MOOC" does not cover the breadth of the subject mater.
