Overall Satisfaction with Coursera
Courseera is not used officially by our organization. Its not like we have a contract with them. But me and my colleagues have taken courses from there. I have taken courses from it when I was a student also
- Coursera's courses are extremely good. They are well designed and being a full time employee I really appreciate the fact of how well they are designed.
- They have made sure that everybody gets enough time to complete it.
- There is an active community which is very helpful. No matter how good a teaching material is, you might always need extra help. This community can answer your question. And also this becomes extremely relevant if you are taking programming courses
- There are assignments to test your skills. This is a great way to evaluate yourself. At this point if you feel like you haven't understood something, you can always go back and refer the videos. Most of these assignments can be applied to real world problems as well which is great
- When I started Coursera was completely free. Being a student it was very helpful for me. I think this free service should be brought back at-least for students.
- As mentioned, we haven't been using this from an organization perspective. I am sure employees are taking courses from Coursera but I am just not aware of it.
I like Coursera much better than Udemy. The user interface of Coursera is much better. I also feel the content of Coursera is little bit better than udemy.
