What is the purpose of Coursera?

Generally speaking, Coursera courses are free to audit, but if you want to access graded assignments or earn a Course Certificate, you will need to pay . This change was first announced in October 2015, and went live in January 2016. But I always knew that there were a few courses that were still completely free.

Coursera was founded by Daphne Koller and Andrew Ng in 2012 with a vision of providing life-transforming learning experiences to learners around the world . Today, Coursera is a global online learning platform that offers anyone, anywhere, access to online courses and degrees from leading universities and companies.

Yes . Coursera provides an “audit” that allows users to enroll in courses for free and get access to all course material, videos, and access to the student discussion board.
