5. Ethereum (Learn Section)

The learning section of the ethereum.org website (the official website for ethereum) includes a series of free resources that are curated together in lots of detail about ethereum, the second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. It dives into the smart contracts side of ethereum, as well as the basics, and also focuses on knowledge for the latest updates and roadmap for ethereum. At the end, a section is dedicated to criticism and other perspectives on how ethereum could be doing better -- leaving it a fairly well-balanced selection of knowledge about the ecosystem that is packaged like a curated course.

6. Udemy (Introduction to Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain)

A free course with about two hours worth of video on the basics of distributed systems and its placement in the history of money. Perhaps a good resource for people who want to take a slightly slower pace than the Coinbase flashcards, but don't want to be fully immersed in different elements of blockchain and different parts of the ecosystem as with the fully-fleshed out courses presented by EdX and Coursera.

It's a free offering on Udemy that has also been used by about 40,000 other students.

7.  EdX (Introduction to Hyperledger Blockchain Technologies)

This EdX course, offered through the Linux Foundation (which is building the HyperLedger framework) offers an introductory course to blockchain and what role HyperLedger plays in the space, as well as the tools available. It's built for a non-technical business audience, and is an introductory course to blockchain principles outside of the discussion around Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies. The course itself is free, but a verified certificate from EdX will cost $99 USD.

8. DeveloperWorks (Blockchain Essentials)

This video course, developed in partnership with IBM, and taught by two developers in IBM's blockchain enablement division, goes over the basics of blockchain then leads to a demo and lab component where you can actually work with the HyperLedger framework and practice with it. You'll be able to use the HyperLedger Composer after this course. While slightly more technical, the level is still marked for beginners, even non-technical ones.

9. Coinbase Earn

What's better than free? Earning money for learning. Coinbase offers a selection of introductory courses and quizzes in cryptocurrencies that don't often have a dedicated course, such as Dai (a stablecoin), EOS and privacy focused ZCash. This will allow any learner to get a more holistic view of altcoins and different cryptocurrencies than the standard courses focused on bitcoin and ethereum. You'll earn small amounts of the cryptocurrency in question for answering quiz questions on the topic, so you'll have a small amount to work with in practice after.
