"Coursera, a solution for lifelong learners"
What do you like best about Coursera?

The interface is intuitive, no prior knowledge is required to use it, it has a wide variety of good quality courses to meet the needs of any type of profile. the costs are accessible

What do you dislike about Coursera?

I did not find any course on the design and implementation of PMO (Project Management Office) which is one of the topics that interests me, in fact there is little content in its competitors as well, so I think it is a growth opportunity to attract clients with similar profiles to the mio you need to learn about this topic

What problems is Coursera solving and how is that benefiting you?

During the pandemic I found out about the existence of coursera, when It launch multiple free courses, I started doing them and they helped me a lot in the development of knowledge and skills, especially in times of uncertainty, until now I continue to use it and it continues to add value to my professional development

"Excellent online learning hub"
What do you like best about Coursera?

Coursera offers many online courses on multiple topics allowing users to learn from the comfort of their homes. Coursera partners with top originations to offer high-quality courses which provide learners with valuable knowledge and skills.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

One of my dislikes about Coursera is the limited interaction between the users and the mentors. I think coursera should find a solution to interact better with the users.

What problems is Coursera solving and how is that benefiting you?

Coursera makes education more accessible by providing courses over online platform. Through Coursera, I can learn from the top organisations; hence, I prefer using Coursera when I want to learn about new things. At the end of the course they also provides with the certificate that shows that I have completed the course.

"Coursera Review"
What do you like best about Coursera?

Coursera is a great platform that provides certifications for various programs from multiple disciplines. the certifications are genuine and authentic as they have tie-ups with renowned universities around the world.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

The process of peer review of the assignments is a bit slow. You have to wait for the reviews sometimes. The course fee is huge for some of the courses. So, Coursera is a bit expensive.

What problems is Coursera solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am using Coursera for better learning of my discipline and enhancing my skills and updating my profile with the new course certifications which are equally valid as certifications from a university.

"Coursera review"
What do you like best about Coursera?

Coursera provides a number of courses from various academic domains and it equally provides the relative content to learn them. Certificates provided from various foreign universities hold a good value.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

The review process for the assignments is a bit slow, we have to wait to get them reviewed, secondly, there are no grades mentioned in the certificates which won't define the level achieved.

What problems is Coursera solving and how is that benefiting you?

There are many courses available with free content so you can access the content and learn new technologies even with certifications which is the nice thing about coursera.

"Coursera Review"
What do you like best about Coursera?

I have learned Initiating and Planning Projects, Fundamentals of Management, Six Sigma Advanced Define and Measure Phases and Digital Manufacturing & Design subjects from coursera till now. I have improved my knowledge from this platform continuously.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

As such nothing to dislike in this platform besides we can increase the number of hours of sessions or practical sessions that can be introduced during the courses. These things help we can also learn practical exposure too.

What problems is Coursera solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. You can decide your learning pace at your convenience. 2. You can build upon technical/communication/practical skills you already have—or learn something entirely new as we know today's time is total artificial intelligence and the internet of things.

definitely that they provide great courses with financial aid, which makes everybody can use their platform, also the advantage to audit the course for free if I didn't get the financial aid yet

What do you dislike about Coursera?

They have some courses not up to date, that's the only thing I dislike. Otherwise, it's an excellent platform

"This is the best self learning platform"
What do you like best about Coursera?

I've been using Coursera probably since its launch date, and it's been very interesting to see it evolve! I currently am using Coursera through my college UNT, they partnered with them so my bachelor's degree is 100% online.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

I understand why their content library is so large now but I also think they should be conscious of how this could be detrimental to them. For example, Netflix has tons of shows and a huge library but that doesn't mean that it satisfies its users. I think Coursera is kind of heading down that rabbit hole.

What problems is Coursera solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's helped me learn much and improve areas of expertise and areas of interest. It's also going to help me achieve earning a degree which has been a lifelong goal.

"Best "at your own pace" site"
What do you like best about Coursera?

I love how you're able to do the work at your own pace (other than some quiz due dates). The way everything is set up is amazing and super easy to use.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

Really the only thing I don't like is you have to pay for some courses, and to get some certificates, but that's reasonable.

What problems is Coursera solving and how is that benefiting you?

Instead of having to find books and in-person courses, I can learn some initial stuff online, which is amazin.g

"Coursera- Good Place to Learn"
What do you like best about Coursera?

The courses are self-paced. The instructors are usually active in discussion groups as well and respond to any queries.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

Auditing courses doesn't let us view quizzes. Even if we don't get certificates, we should be allowed to attempt the quiz.

What problems is Coursera solving and how is that benefiting you?

Courses range from Beginner to Advanced Level. So you can learn a completely new topic or concept right from scratch and keep building on it.

"Great educational tool for continued learning"
What do you like best about Coursera?

Coursera offers a wide range of courses that can be completed at the student's own pace. The courses provide practice problems and coursework that is applicable to real life, making it a great transition for those who are looking for a career change or those looking to gain more knowledge within a particular skillset.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

Coursera has pre-recorded instructor videos, which is helpful for individual pacing but also lacks in authenticity. It would be beneficial to have real-time videos to have questions answered immediately rather than having a bot respond within a couple of business days.

What problems is Coursera solving and how is that benefiting you?

Coursera is providing opportunities for growth within many different industries. These courses are completely legitimate and are easy to share on business profiles such as LinkedIn to help users connect with more individuals and find positions that fit their career goals.

"Coursera is the most mature MOOC"
What do you like best about Coursera?

Design of courses is very intuitive. Quality of video, blog, discussion forum is very good. Being most popular globally, it has participating learners from most of the countries of the world. This helps in getting varied perspective on topic. Most of the popular academia are participating and providing free course and accomplishment certificates. This helps in being confident on the topic you learned, you know that you have learned from one of the best institution who is working on that topic.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

Popular courses should run more frequently. Coursera should take suggestions from learners on future topics to be included. Looking forward for more topics on ART, CRAFT, MUSIC etc...

What problems is Coursera solving and how is that benefiting you?

I work in Information management area, coursera helps me learn (get high level knowledge) many newer technology in this area. I do not need professional certificate rather I need knowledge. Coursera's free courses are best I could ask for

One thing I disliked was, it is really tough to call their customer care and talk to a person.

What problems is Coursera solving and how is that benefiting you?

"Lots to leverage on and information readily available."
What do you like best about Coursera?

There are a lot of professional courses offered, nice user interface and there's also a free 7 day trial function. Also the e-badge function where we can integrate into the LinkedIn profile.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

Free trial could be longer, so that education might be free for more people.

What problems is Coursera solving and how is that benefiting you?

Learning a lot of new knowledge and skills. The trainers there are mostly clear and good. The badges are a sweet touch to acknowledge your knowledge.

Variety of courses really broadens our knowledge. Stay home and study on your own pace. Good exercises and practice set of quiz help to exploit our intelligence. Very friendly tutors from big universities all over the world.

Some animated background while in the classroom which I found to be very distracting.

"Coursera for undergraduate students!"
What do you like best about Coursera?

Coursera provides me with helpful lessons in various fields, especially when I could not find the course I can learn in my academic program at university!

What do you dislike about Coursera?

There is nothing that I dislike about coursera.

What problems is Coursera solving and how is that benefiting you?

Coursera gives me a chance to engage in e-learning effectively. It not only gives you a video lecture but it also has quiz and other collaborative assignment in a forum platform. This helps make you get to know other people while still studying. Coursera also builds up this forum in order for students/learners to explore ideas other people have within a same assignment.

"Coursera gives you an amazing learning experience "
What do you like best about Coursera?

I love that you can learn pretty much anything for essentially free (unless you want a certificate which is just an additional reasonable fee of about $50 or so). You can either improve your knowledge to help you with school or just learn for fun. It's also a great hobby for anyone who wants to gain skills in something they could not have the time or money for otherwise.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

I have no complaints because it is such a valuable website with endless opportunities. Great for anyone interested in or involved in academia. Also amazing chance to meet like-minded students and faculty and bounce ideas off each other.

What problems is Coursera solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am improving my knowledge for medical school and the courses available (physiology, neurology) have improved my grades in school. I am learning so much more than I would if I were just engaged in school by itself.
