Most study groups fail because of one big reason
Lack of clarity.
- “Let’s learn Python together” That’s not a clear goal.
- “Lets study the course Python for Everybody on Coursera” is a good goal. You now understand what exactly you want to study + how long it will take to finish.
- “Lets study the course Python for Everybody on Coursera. I’m from Mumbai, India, and I’m looking for study partners in the timezone (UTC+5:30). I’m fluent in Hindi language. I have 2 years of experience in C++, so I understand the fundamentals of programming. Happy to host the group and contribute.” is a great post.
Moocable gets rid of this vagueness, and pushes learners to post clear and precise goals
Rule 1: Mention the Course/Book/Problem-Set you want to study
Don’t post “I want to learn web dev”. Instead, mention the exact MOOC you want to study, for example “I want to study The Odin Project course”.
This will help other’s understand what exactly you want to study, and set clear expectations.
If you don’t know what you should study, you can post on Recommend me a MOOC
Rule 2: Share the link of the course/book/problem-set from our library.
Our library lists +200k resources - online courses, books, problem sets, micro credentials, and roadmaps. Find the MOOC on our library and paste it in your post.
For example, if you want to study The Odin Project (Foundations course), it’s listed in our library:

Our library meticulously lists information about MOOCs, such as: curriculum, syllabus, provider, duration, difficulty, cost, and more.
