Coursera

Coursera is an online learning platform that hosts courses, Professional Certificates, Specializations and full degree programs delivered by universities and companies. Learners enroll through a single catalog spanning business, artificial intelligence, data science, computer science, information technology, healthcare, language learning and the humanities, and work through video lessons, readings, quizzes and hands on projects at their own pace. The AI catalog is the part most relevant here, with programs built by Google, OpenAI, Anthropic, IBM, DeepLearning.AI and Stanford University, organized by role for AI engineers, software developers, data analysts, project managers, business leaders and digital marketers. A typical Professional Certificate, such as the IBM AI Product Manager program, runs as a ten course series aimed at beginners, is designed to finish in about three months at ten hours a week, and ends in a shareable credential that can be added to a LinkedIn profile. Coursera for Business extends the same catalog to organizations, and degree programs are offered with partner universities. Pricing localizes by region, so the figures shown depend on where the page is opened. Viewed from Australia, Coursera Plus, the subscription that unlocks more than ten thousand courses, is published at A$81 per month billed monthly with a seven day free trial, or A$554 per year billed annually, marked as a saving of 40 percent and carrying a fourteen day money back guarantee. There is no separate public pricing page for the site as a whole; many individual courses can be joined for free, and business and degree pricing is handled separately. Coursera was launched in 2012 by Andrew Ng and Daphne Koller and partners with more than 375 universities and companies.
