Coursera vs. Fiverr

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.

As a seller, firstly they will let you run your services as long as you need, charging the most famous highest rate ever of 20% and another from the Buyer. In my experience, they would anytime suspend your gigs and kick you out especially when their algorithm makes your gigs shine on top of Buyer choices "unless" you start to "spend" what you earned on their platform, promoting your gigs, or taking training or whatsoever! The simplest way of doing it is picking up the easiest reason "Not complying with our Community Standard / Integrity / Policy " !! A policy that I doubt any of their staff read or understood! Or whatever comes on their way !! They tend to find all the ways to diminish your business and they would accept anything from anyone of their Buyers that helps on that as long as it is against you! P.S: Their decisions cannot be "undone" and not "discussable." As a Buyer, nothing special on the platform except a huge enormous security system that hinders innovation and the proper discussions with Sellers !! On another similar platform, you can Video call the Seller through any meeting app! In Fiverr, the maximum would be to find a data entry specialist! They are trying to expand .. true, but with their mentality in how business and innovation are being managed, how would you expect to have a Business Plan through a seller from the USA, who is not vetted and probably staying in Bangladesh and not the cute lady that you see her profile photo! Only cause the platform reads the IP address, easy to bluff!

• 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

• Creating competition to work on one's projects. There are thousands of service providers on the site. As a result, any request for service will receive multiple responses. Also, Fiverr does a great job in vetting sellers with a star system that will gauge everything from response times to order delivery.
• The communication and transactions systems set up by Fiverr are straightforward and seamless. Once you're engaged with your sellers, messaging between the two parties can be done through an inbox or on the order page. Payments are handled by Fiverr by placing a credit card on file.
• Fiverr does a great job of exposing a buyer or a seller to an international audience.
• Fiverr allows me to accumulate a list of my best sellers so that I can maintain contact and easily access their services again if needed.
• As a seller, I'm exposed to a range of potential customers that would have not been within my reach otherwise.

• 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.

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).

Over the years, I've tried Freelancer, Guru, and Truelancer, but none of them measured up to Fiverr and I've long since abandoned trying to find a competitor. My relationship with Fiverr is on automatic pilot.
