HOW TO GET PAID COURSES 

FREE FROM COURSERA 


What is Coursera?

 According to Wikipedia,


Coursera is a for-profit educational technology company founded by computer science professors Andrew Ng and Daphne Koller from Stanford University that offers massive open online courses (MOOCs). Coursera works with universities to make some of their courses available online, and offers courses in physics, engineering, humanities, medicine,biology, social sciences, mathematics, business, computer science, and other subjects.

  • In short, Coursera is a free online learning tool for everyone who has an account registered.
  • Account registration is also free of cost.
  • All courses offered by Coursera are "accessible for free".
  • Each course includes short video lectures on different topics and assignments to be submitted, usually on a weekly basis.
  • Coursera courses approximate from six to ten weeks long, with one to two hours of video lectures a week. These courses provide quizzes, weekly exercises, and sometimes a final project or exam.


Is Coursera Courses Free?

Coursera is mostly free.


  • Certain courses on that platform, including the very popular Machine-Learning and Learning How to Learn courses, have taught millions of students to date for free. They’re among a handful of courses that helped prove that MOOCs are a viable way to spread knowledge worldwide.

  • However, recently, Coursera has opted to focus more on paid specializations and courses.
  • For certain courses, you might still be able to watch lecture videos, but without access to materials like quizzes, homework assignments, or exams (and without access to those, you cannot earn a certificate to show that you’ve completed a course). In other cases, you won’t be able to access any material until you pay.
  • One easy way to figure whether a course is free is by looking it up on OpenCourser (*plug) or by visiting various course pages on Coursera. Note, you must be logged in to see the difference, but on those pages you’ll notice that enroll buttons will look different between paid vs. free.
You can differentiate free vs. paid courses by observing the enroll buttons (left side paid, right side free):
