"My preferred online education platform."
What do you like best about Coursera?

I like that I am able to pause my courses on the Coursera platform and pick off from where I stopped , whenever I like. Secondly, Coursera supports mobile phone use and this makes it easier for me to join my course classes from anywhere I am. I must also commend Coursera's financial aid programme, which enables me to apply for financial aid, that allows me take specific stand alone or Specialization courses for free.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

Will like to see a situation where there is a way for me as a Coursera learner to get to interact with my tutors , or at least send them messages. This I believe , will make courses on the platform more interactive.

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

Coursera is used within all departments in my organization , by employees to acquire critical skillsets, related to their job roles within my organization. Our use of Coursera provides employees in my organization , with the ability to take courses and earn certifications without them having to take an educational leave from work.

"Coursera let me acquire critical skills on the go."
What do you like best about Coursera?

The sheer volume of the courses available on the Coursera platform is what I like the best about it. At the moment, Coursera offers over three thousand courses and for me , it has meant that there is always a Coursera course for any field I have had an interest in. Also, Coursera provides certificates at the end of every course programme and this enables me to show my accomplishment on my Linkedin profile to potential recruiters.

What do you dislike about Coursera?

Coursera used to have an active forum for every specialization course in the past. The forum was a way for course participants to exchange ideas about their experiences in the process of partaking in a Coursera programme. The removal of such forums has led to limited interactions between pariticipants in Coursera courses.

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

Coursera is the adopted online education platform within my organization. It has proven to be a reliable platform through which employees can either acquire new skillsets or update their existing skilsets for improved productivity.
