Coursera vs. EverFi

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.

Everfi does what it needs to do. It is user-friendly and fairly self-explanatory to our employees. One thing Everfi could consider is the length of certain trainings, particularly for supervisors. For a fast-paced and growing company, it is hard to find 3+ hours to devote in a single sitting. Often times our employees need to pause and revisit training

• 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

• EverFi's online learning modules and coalition resources provide cutting-edge prevention education to collegiate members.
• The annual Campus Prevention Network Summit has become a highly anticipated professional development opportunity for individuals working in higher education prevention. Not only does the experience provide exceptional education programs, but it also affords those attending the opportunity to interact and connect with prevention experts from around the country.
• EverFi's Prevention Diagnostic Tools allows for benchmarking of educational programs, resources, and strategic initiatives. The feedback provided allows for campuses and organizations to critically assess how effective current efforts measure up in relation to evidence-based approaches.

• 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.

Overall, the platform is very easy to use, occasionally there will be a small glitch where something needs reloaded in order to work, but this is only happened a few times. The majority of the time everything runs very smoothly, and there are no issues to worry about.

I’ve used it a couple of times and... that did great. They take their time, but in the end they solve your issues.

Customer and client services vary depending on account representatives. Frequent changes in staff assigned as our client manager has not allowed for much personalized service.

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).

The training resources provided on this platform are much easier to understand and to explain to a group of students in a classroom than the compared software. It breaks it down into manageable lessons that are worded in a way that everyone can understand.
