It should go without saying that a global pandemic isn’t necessarily the best time for everyone to brush up on their skills—many are still working in essential businesses, [working from home](https://www.popularmechanics.com/home/a32022321/work-from-home-office-supplies/), or simply busy taking care of family and loved ones. But now that we’re several weeks into stay-at-home orders for most states, you may be looking for new ways to occupy the extra time you have on hand. Online classes are a great option to keep you busy while still feeling purposeful and productive.

Whether you always wanted to learn basic coding, sharpen [math skills](https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/math/), or develop artistic prowess, these seven online learning platforms offer a plethora of courses from experts in the field or professors at top universities. Plus, most of these classes are now offered at reduced prices or for free during the [COVID-19 pandemic](https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/health/a31903523/coronavirus-treatment/), so now’s a great time to register to learn and develop new skills.

Some of its top partners include Harvard, Berkley, MIT, and IBM, many of which offer professional certificates and “micro” degrees.
