Overall Satisfaction with Coursera
Coursera is one of my top primary sources for online education where I attend classes in Computer Science, math and related disciplines, provided by the best educators from leading universities. I personally consider learning Coursera as a preparatory step for post-graduating to a university and receiving a bachelor's degree rather than getting a job.
- MOOC platform
- Online learning
- Classic academia education
- Course videos sometimes very childish
- More infographics, graphs
- Renewed the path to education
- Increased overall quality of work
- edx
Coursera has wide range of disciplines and some subjects other MOOC platforms do not have. I am using Coursera along with other online educational platforms and courses to arrange courses on a complex schedule. Coursera has a free option (free listener) where students are able to attend without paying. Simply speaking, Coursera has nice intuitive web UI.
