Abstract
The Internet space is replete with platforms that aggregate information about online courses and make ratings for them according to various parameters. There is a request for such services, because due to the growth of the online education market and the undeveloped culture of choosing high-quality products of this market, course aggregators seem to be a good opportunity not to make a mistake in deciding to buy a particular course. However, they are not always an effective help due to the opacity of their tools, a small set of characteristics for comparison and other reasons. The article presents theoretical approaches to the selection of educational products, provides an overview of some aggregators of online courses in order to develop an assumption about what properties this platform should have in order to meet the needs of users to choose an online course suitable for them. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that the presented results will help in the development of such an aggregator that could take into account the main demands of consumers of the online education market and would be free from the disadvantages inherent in existing tools.
