I believe one of the backlinks that people are most looking for is .edu.
I created these two dorks, which serve to find .edu links that use the Moddle system.
After signing up you can get the link in two ways: by placing your link on your profile or commenting / creating posts with it.
I created these dorks today so I can't prove if it really will work.
-----------------------------------------------------
site:.edu.** inurl:login "Login here using your username" "For full access to courses you'll need to take a minute to create a new account for"

site:.edu.** inurl:/moodle/login/
-----------------------------------------------------
Replace ** with the domain you want the backlink to.
If it is from Brazil (in my case) I would put "br".

Looks very helpful, thanks!
From me experience, many of those websites that allow you to register, ask for some student id or admission verification.
 
Thanks! But if those Moodles require registration/login in order to see profiles/articles, will links inside those be crawled by Google?

For Moodle - it depends. Some courses are public, some aren't.

For EDU sites, a useful method is to look at how it was built. You will find a lot of sites built with software called Drupal, the education space uses it widely. It supports comments and forums, tons of ways to post links. There's also RSS feeds in every site you can use to pull authoritative content for scrambling.

A few years ago, we started noticing many colleges were turning off comments and replacing them with disqus. One method we use is to turn the Drupal comments back on while disqus is active. The comments still appear on the page but they are hidden from the view of the user, which is a great way to get links off a highly authoritative page. Another method is just inserting links in content, there's ways to make it so your links appear as normal text and only machines will see them.

How can you suggest looking for blogs or forums at universities and colleges? You can write a few signs that you should google and find profile registration pages.
 
I've had pretty good experience with creating scholarships and submitting them to .edu directories, but it was 5+ years ago, so I'm not sure it that method works now.

Do you use automation for the submissions?
