Coursera is a great way to try out an online course for the first time, get back into the groove of school, or just learn something new. Coursera is a website featuring open, online post-secondary courses from top global academic institutions. Most courses are free to take, and consist of watching lecture videos and presentations, doing readings, holding discussions with other students, and completing assignments and quizzes. Every course on Coursera is taught by top instructors from world-class universities and companies.

Accreditation is available for some courses (and groups of courses), but requires payment and additional processing, such as verifying identity and assignment assessment.

HAVE COURSERA'S SERVICES BEEN SUSPENDED DUE TO COVID-19? No. Coursera is continuing to provide free learning resources during COVID-19 for Universities, for Governments and for University and College Students.
