User Testimonials
	Coursera	Curricula
Likelihood to Recommend	It's absolutely ideal for programming. Today, most programming environments are available for free and enthusiasts can tinker with programming on their own. But Coursera structures that process and presents iteratively more complex assignments to the student. I found it useful for non-programming. I took a refresher Calculus course and the user was able to enter solutions symbolically which I found impressive. Incentivized Rei Shinozuka, CFA®, FRM® Director Asset Liability Modeling & Strategy, Office of CFO Read full review	We use Curricula to level up our internal training programs. We are currently working on SOC-2 and HIPAA compliance and these training capabilities allow us to easily track progress and get the teams trained up quickly. Previously we had no training program internally and this will help us grow the business now that we can win deals in areas where these compliance measures are required. I think this is great for software companies training teams in remote settings because it is all self-paced and on-demand. We would never get through it all if we had to do it in a workshop in person setting. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Coursera's courses are extremely good. They are well designed and being a full time employee I really appreciate the fact of how well they are designed. They have made sure that everybody gets enough time to complete it. There is an active community which is very helpful. No matter how good a teaching material is, you might always need extra help. This community can answer your question. And also this becomes extremely relevant if you are taking programming courses There are assignments to test your skills. This is a great way to evaluate yourself. At this point if you feel like you haven't understood something, you can always go back and refer the videos. Most of these assignments can be applied to real world problems as well which is great Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	If you leave the projects for the weekends, your Sunday nights could be a drag. But I list this as a benefit also, it enforces discipline on the learning process. I hope Coursera continues to offer no-cost and low-cost learning opportunities. I honestly can't think of any serious deficiency in the product. I am a huge fan.

Alternatives Considered	We've looked at or used many different LMS platforms including Blackboard, Learnshare, Canvas, Cornerstone, SABA, and many others. Each has its pros & cons but I feel Coursera given its brand recognition and built-in following it's a great value for any organization. I would not want to build out an entire MBA or other MASTERS level online program on it but it is a great way to allow potential students to experience your institutions content for a low price (of free).

Return on Investment	The greatest benefit of Coursera is access to quality courses on various subjects that you can either browse or dive in deeply. Customizable, flexible and accessible. Helps our department to recommend trainees courses on this website and gain important knowledge. Also, the courses are provided by big-name universities which helps students in their careers Developing and exploring professional skills.
