What do you like best about the product?
Coursera ofrece una gama super amplia de cursos para el desarrollo profesional y académico, ademas de eso lo hace el múltiples idiomas, como el ingles, francés, italiano y español, lo cual amplia considerablemente las oportunidades de las personas para poder inscribirse en uno de sus cursos y comenzar a aprender sobre nuevas tecnologías, nuevas herramientas para el análisis de problemas sociales, o porque no aprender gramatica o redacción de otro idioma. Los materiales utilizados en Coursera son muy actualizados, y los profesores de muy alta categoría y con un gran nivel académico, la mayor parte de ellos con nivel de PHD, ademas de eso es posible descargar todos las clases y materiales para utilizarlos cuando se considere necesario o cuando se desee hacer una consulta de un tema en especifico, esto es de gran utilidad una vez finalizados los cursos.
What do you dislike about the product?
La mayor parte de los cursos ofrecidos, no ofertan certificados gratuitos y solo permiten visualizar los materiales, sin la posibilidad de hacer los quizzes o las tareas asignadas, lo que realmente limita la posibilidad de las personas de aprender y validar su conocimiento. Hace pocos años era posible acceder a certificados gratuitos en casi todos los cursos pero en la actualidad está opción está prácticamente desaparecida, y limita la capacidad de aprendizaje de las personas que no tienen como pagar un certificado verificado.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coursera me ha ayudado con el aprendizaje de nuevas herramientas para el Project Management y con otros cursos para conocer la sostenibilidad ambiental de grandes ciudades, y como los procesos de urbanización pueden ser armoniosos con la naturaleza y mucho más sustentables.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Deben tener presente que existe una gama muy grande de cursos a los cuales pueden optar, y deben seleccionar de manera adecuada que es lo que quieren aprender, y saber que deben dedicarle un tiempo considerable a esta tarea. Por otra parte deben tener en cuenta que es casi imprescindible contar con un respaldo monetario, dado que los cursos ofrecidos en su mayoría son pagos y no ofrecen certificados gratuitos.
Great way of learning
What do you like best about the product?
The way of accessing the courses and delivering the tasks was very easy. I could have subtitles in videos and download them for offline use. The forums were active. The course was good quality and useful. Lots of courses and a fair free use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really, I don't like very much the way they charge you. It's not per course but per subscription. Since I wanted to do only one course, it felt expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to do at all times, easy to access. I wanted to learn HTML CSS and do tasks. I loved the idea that I had to review also my peers work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do a lot of courses at the same time, make your money worth it :)
The best platform for quality online learning
What do you like best about the product?
The platform is very well designed, and works well on all of my devices. The quality of the courses is awesome. Real university professors teach many of their courses, and you really feel like you are getting quality education instead of just some "expert" without credentials.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of anything offhand, except that sometimes there's so many options I don't know which course to start with!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have transitioned from a business management position to a software management position within the company, and their courses have been invaluable in helping me quickly get up to speed.
high quality courses!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that, although you can purchase courses (and earn a certificate), you can also audit the courses and access all the information for free. I have only had positive experiences with Coursera courses. The instructors are engaging, and the quizzes and other class supplements help to reinforce topics covered in the lectures. The lectures are well prepared, and they are just long enough to give a good explanation. Most lecture videos are 10-20 mins long. I also appreciate that all the course material is available when you enroll for a course. If you want to skip a section, then you can easily go to a later week and watch the videos on a particular topic. The lecture videos are also very good quality, and navigation through the coursera course system is very intuitive. Finally, I really like that you can download videos / course supplements so you can study even without an internet connection.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like that to get answers to quizzes or have access to peer grading you have to purchase the course. It is somewhat irritating to do the quizzes but never find out your grade. Also, when you first enter the coursera website, it seems like you have to pay for the classes. However, if you click on 'enroll', a tiny check box appears that says 'audit' and that allows you to take the class for free. It is somewhat misleading because it seems like you must pay for course content, which is not true.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used Coursera to prepare for other classes (I am a ph.D student), which ultimately has helped my research efforts. Coursera has helped me to gain the knowledge I needed to complete certain aspects of my research. Thus, it has helped me be more productive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend Coursera to individuals needing to 'brush up' on topics for school or work. It is especially good for people who already have a job but wish to learn more about a certain topic on their own time. You can watch videos from most devices (e.g. laptop, phone, tablet), and you can even download the videos and watch them without an internet connection. I
Great tool for self-motivated learning
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the variety of classes offer and the structure of the programs. All of the programs are conducted with high levels of professionalism, and make learning outcomes easy to achieve and understand. The platform itself is also very user friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The costs associated with the classes can be somewhat prohibitive for self-motivated learning.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have used Coursera to supplement my own professional development and content knowledge. It has also been useful when improving my own writing, and picking up new skills/knowledge in personal interest areas.
Undecided Majors Welcomed, Scholarships Available
What do you like best about the product?
Not sure what you want to be when you grow up, even if you already have professional degrees? I love the variety of free and paid courses from renowned educational institutions from around the world. Exceptional, high quality and well-developed, these courses allow students to explore their interests and develop new skills. I've taken 2 courses with certificates, thanks to their scholarships. Needless to say, I'm very thankful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. The good far outweighs any negatives.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Developing and exploring professional skills.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
These courses are packed with resources, community interaction, projects, and other interactive materials. Take advantage!
Amazing concept and platform for learning
What do you like best about the product?
Top-notch information from leading professors on the field.
What do you dislike about the product?
I started several courses but never finished. No feedback for assignment takes away the motivation. The student has to be fully self-motivated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Learning to expand my expertise as well as to acquire knowledge in new fields.
Coursera delievers you the best source for university level education
What do you like best about the product?
I've taken several free courses there and as far as I can say, the quality is really good (well-structured, convenient etc.) As for effectiveness of the particular course, you can always review(audit) all the offered materials and decide if it is what you are looking for before paying anything.
What do you dislike about the product?
The problem with Coursera are the moderation in the forums. From the few courses I have taken, many of my classmate were criticized heavily or bullied from other classmates for asking questions in the forum. This hasn’t give any attention with the forum moderators which makes the community feel unease with helping each other.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have taken courses like, "Introduction with MATLAB" for educational reasoning. I was able to learn a lot with the videos the course offers and the homework challenges my critical thinking skills. Cousera also have courses which requires payment. But it's definitely affordable and worth than paying over $1000 on a course in college.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Yes, anyone who is willing to invest time for their education. They could also earn certificates to aid their experience/knowledge for work related reasons.
A virtual university where the best professors in the world teach
What do you like best about the product?
I have been using Coursera for more than 5 years now, and I have learned some of the fundamental courses in Computer Science from the best professors in the world on Coursera. Without Coursera, I would have a difficult time in finding the quality material on various topics in Computer Science. I like the fact that one either audit a course or a complete a certification, I like both the options. Also, the course materials like handouts and slides are of great quality. The exercise problems are challenging that forces a student to apply the knowledge gained. Overall the learning experience is highly rewarding.
What do you dislike about the product?
Most of the courses and the related materials used to be freely available on Coursera. However, with the recent changes, some of the courses are categorized into specific tracks, and they are not free anymore. However I am glad that one can still audit the paid courses, but access to the course materials may be limited.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coursera provides access to high-quality materials on various topics in Computer Science. One can build their career in specialized tracks like data analytics, UI/UX design, etc., by completing the courses on Coursera. Also, these days the Coursera certifications are appreciated and accepted by various software development and research firms which is a great incentive for completing certifications on Coursera.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Coursera is an online learning platform that offers courses taught by the best professors in the world. Hence, investing in learning through Coursera is guaranteed to have high returns. As the Coursera certifications are becoming widely known, if someone is trying to build a career on a specific track, taking Coursera courses for certifications is highly recommended.
